Pinnacles

In August we went to Pinnacles National Park for some climbing (Brian) and hiking (Anne Marie). Pinnacles was only recently upgraded from a National Monument to a National Park (signifying the diversity of resources and attractions in the area).
Pinnacles is known for its caves - here is our friend Nate trying to capture the light.



The caves are a network of underground passageways created by falling rock (which I tried not to think about when we were hiking through).




Above ground, Pinnacles has more fascinating rocky terrain. Here's Bear Gulch Reservoir.





This Manzanita tree has incredible red bark.






The park also offers astounding views.










The climbers enjoyed their day as well.








The view from the climbing spot!
