Pinnacles National Park

#holidayitinerary Pinnacles is a paradise for hikers and rock climbers. The rugged spires and rock formations look like something out of a fantasy movie. I hiked the High Peaks Trail, which had narrow cliffside paths and breathtaking views. The park is also one of the best places to spot California condors — I saw two soaring overhead, their massive wings casting shadows on the ground. The talus caves were another highlight; scrambling through them with a flashlight was a thrilling adventure. Pinnacles may be one of California’s smallest national parks, but it packs in a lot of beauty and excitement.
