Pinnacles
National Park
Welcome!
Some 23 million years ago, multiple volcanoes erupted, flowed, and slid to form a unique landscape. Journey through chaparral, oak woodlands, and canyon bottoms. Hike inside rare talus caves and emerge to towering rock spires teeming with life: prairie and peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and the inspiring California condor.

Our public lands are our public commons. They belong to all of us as part of our natural and cultural heritage. They remind us of a larger world that has existed long before the arrival of humans and will survive long after we are gone. –Terry Tempest Williams, Author & Conservationist
