Pinnacles National Park

Established as a National Park in 2013, Pinnacles protects 26,686 acres of unique geological formations and diverse ecosystems. The park showcases the remnants of an ancient volcanic field, featuring towering rock spires, massive monoliths, and rare talus caves.

Home to the endangered California condor, the park serves as a critical release and monitoring site for these magnificent birds. From rock climbing to cave exploration to wildlife watching, Pinnacles offers diverse recreational opportunities in a compact but dramatic landscape.
