This impressive hike leads you to most of the big sights in Pinnacles National Park. You will cross streams, explore talus caves and climb around and through the fascinating and bizarre rock spires! Sometimes, you even have the opportunity to climb up some stairs cut into the sides of the pinnacles themselves. If you’re lucky, you might spot a Condor in the air. In the spring, look forward to meadows with bountiful wildflowers along the trail.
This hike is great for people from San Jose.
