Pinnacles National Park protects a dramatic landscape of towering volcanic rock spires, deep canyons, talus caves, and rugged cliffs in central California. Formed from the remnants of an ancient volcanic field that moved along the San Andreas Fault, the park offers unique geological features, scenic hiking trails, and excellent rock climbing. Pinnacles is also one of the best places in North America to see the endangered California condor soaring above the cliffs.
