산 베니토 카운티 주변 최고의 가족 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Prepare for cold knee deep water and stony ground. It is best to take the entrance from the other side of the cave. A headlamp comes in handy later on since the caves are very dark.

Without a doubt, this reservoir is one of the gems of Pinnacles National Park. Built in 1935, it's not only functional (to prevent flooding) but also incredibly beautiful. The impressive rock formations that surround it make it perfect for a picnic or watching the sunset. While you're here, keep your eyes peeled for the red-legged frog, a threatened species that calls the reservoir home.

This trailhead features a parking lot, toilets, a water fountain, and an adjacent picnic area with the same name. The name comes from the most popular kind of vegetation in Pinnacles National Park, the Chaparral, which covers around 82% of the park grounds at least partially.

Nice hike, especially when it's hot, this part is a little more shadowed. Flashlight strongly recommended. May be seasonally closed, see Park's website in advance.

Really beautiful road to the park on the West, with only a few very steep sections. The road has no shoulder, but it is a broad single lane, and it feels secure. Most of the road is glassy smooth. The bike rack at the visitor's center is not bolted to the ground, but to 6*6 wooden blocks. None of the park paths allow bicycles.

Great Nature Center next to the picnic area. Look for the woodpeckers hiding acorns in hundreds of holes they poked into dead tree trunks around the treailhead.

Worth to look at the museum exhibits in the visitor center and get trail advice from the rangers. Often they can point you to the place where a ranger is positioned in the park to give talks about condors and other wildlife.

At the split Pinnacle road goes another half mile south and Condor Gulch about the same to the west. This is the main parking and day use area, with restrooms, water, picnic facilities, and hiking trails going into both canyons, the best is to do a loop clockwise.
