Pinnacles National Park - NPS
United States / Soledad, California
Location ID: #10105948
Born of Fire
Some 23 million years ago multiple volcanoes erupted, flowed, and slid to form what would become Pinnacles National Park. What remains is a unique landscape. Travelers journey through chaparral, oak woodlands, and canyon bottoms. Hikers enter rare talus caves and emerge to towering rock spires teeming with life: prairie and peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and the inspiring California condor.
Terrain Features: Mountains & Rocks, Deserts & Barren Lands, Geological Oddities, and 100'-500' of Scale Rocks.
