This trail does indeed offer amazing views of the Pinnacles at Hawkins Peak! Just be careful on the way down to the parking lot, it is true you might run into some creepy crawlies.

Condor Gulch Trail leads down from the best vistas of the pinnacles at Hawkins Peak to the parking area. Tarantulas and snakes seem to like the lower portion of this canyon. nps.gov/pinn
Pinnacles National Park is a U.S. National Park protecting a mountainous area located east of the Salinas Valley in Central California, about 5 miles east of Soledad and 80 miles southeast of San Jose. The pinnacles are the eroded leftovers of the western half of an extinct volcano that has moved 200 miles (320 km) from its original location on the San Andreas Fault, embedded in a portion of the California Pacific Coast Ranges. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnacles_National_Park
