Wild Recovery: Pinnacles National Monument

The Place

Photo Disclaimer: These photos were taken by various members on previous Pinnacles National Monument hikes and may or may not reflect what we will see on Feb. 23, 2008

Rising out of the valley are the spectacular remains of an ancient volcano. Massive monoliths, spires, sheer-walled canyons and passages define millions of years of erosion, faulting and tectonic plate movement.

The Hike

We will be meeting at the Bear Gulch Visitor Center at 9am . One hour earlier than normal. We are starting out on the Condor Gulch Trail, to High Peaks Trail. After meeting and lunch, we hike down Rim Trail to the Reservoir. Just in case the caves are open, bring a flashlight. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen.

Getting There

Take 101 South. Exit on Hwy 25 and go through Hollister. Follow the signs carefully, because Hwy 25 turns left and then right. After you leave town, stay on Hwy 25 until CA-146 which takes you to the park.

Drive Time: 1 hour & 30 minutes-Parking $5.00. Dogs not allowed.

NOTE!! We will be having a business meeting on March 2, 2008.
