There is no easy answer to this question as both sides of Pinnacles National Park offer unique and beautiful scenery. However, if we had to choose one side that is slightly better than the other, we would say the east side is superior. Here are a few reasons why:
1. The east side offers more varied terrain, including canyons, cliffs, and valleys. This makes for a more interesting and diverse hiking experience.
2. The east side also has more opportunities for wildlife viewing. You're likely to see deer, coyotes, quail, and other animals on this side of the park.
3. Finally, the east side simply has more to offer in terms of attractions and activities. There are more picnic areas, restrooms, and ranger-led programs available on this side of Pinnacles National Park.
