Pinnacles National Park Camping & Hiking
Price: $85
OVERVIEW
Pinnacles National Park located east of the Salinas Valley in Central California. The park encompasses 26,000 acres of spectacular rock formation and remnants of an extinct 23-million-year old volcano. There are more than 30 miles of hiking trails that showcase the beauty of the park up close and personal. Hikes range from flat stretches of grasslands to uphill climbs through talus caves onward to the rocky spires that Pinnacles is famous for. Condors are often observed soaring on the morning thermals along the ridge and coming in to roost on their favorite trees in the evenings. Pinnacles National Park is a nesting place for the endangered soaring bird, the largest in North America.

CAMPING AT PINNACLES CAMPGROUND
Pinnacles Campground is located in the unique Pinnacles National Park, 32 miles south of Hollister, California. It is located on the eastern side of the park and is situated in a rolling landscape dotted with shady Valley Oak, Blue Oak, and Coast Live Oak trees. A gentle, seasonal creek runs through the grounds. Springtime finds Pinnacles bursting with a wide variety of vivid wildflowers that line every trail and fill entire meadows with color. Deer and wild turkeys roam the area, and condors can be viewed from within the campground. The park ranges in elevation from 824 ft along the South Chalone Creek to 3,304 feet atop North Chalone Peak.
