Pinnacles National Park is a protected mountainous area located east of central California’s Salinas Valley, just miles from the communities of Soledad, King City, and Hollister. The Park features towering rock formations and rare talus caves that are the eroded remnants of an ancient volcanic field.
The park offers camping, hiking trails, spring wildflowers, cave exploration, wildlife watching (including the endangered California condor), education programs, and ranger guided presentations for thousands of visitors each year.
