Very nice day at one of our favorite NPs. I have been visiting the Pinnacles for about 60 years.Some changes and most things no change.The NP designation has brought in more visitors but not in a bad way. Most people didn't know about the park.Good changes are upgrades to some services especially on the east side.The west side my favorite side really hasn't changed much. New restrooms,picnic tables with shade and a parking upgrade.
On my first visits the park was actually very primitive with a dirt road most of the 9 miles to the entrance.
One of the biggest changes is the California Condor program.There are now several breeding pairs and usually a new hatch every year.
Today the weather was almost perfect mild temps with a nice breeze. Spring/Fall/Winter are the best times for different reasons.
Spring brings out a lot of different wildflowers and new spring growth.
Fall has what you would expect some color and nice cool temps.
The rainy season can be very spectacular with water falls falling off the high cliffs into moss lined pools.
Today we had a treat and spotted several Condors.That always makes the trip very special.
The park is well worth a visit.There is camping only on the east side traveling Hwy 25 through Hollister or King City.
Check it out and have a great time.
