Pinnacles National Park is located in central California, east of the Salinas Valley. It’s an easy nature escape from cities like San Jose and Monterey.

Millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions shaped Pinnacles. Over time, wind and water carved the tall spires, cliffs, and caves you see today.

The park is named after its towering “pinnacles” — sharp rock spires that rise high above the landscape and create stunning views.

Pinnacles is famous for its talus caves, formed by fallen boulders. Some caves are dark, cool, and exciting to walk through.
