Pinnacles National Park

Pinnacles National Park was a wonderful surprise.    The park facilities are small and limited but the hiking is fantastic.    We went to both the East and the West side.    The Moses Spring trail had great views of the rock formations.    The Balconies Cliff trail did too but it also ended up at the Balconies Cave which was a hard scramble for two shall we say "older" people.   In spots it felt more like a climb than a hike and if we had lost our footing or our grip the fall would have been over 10 feet down to very hard rock.   We were both very glad when it was over & have been patting ourselves on the back that we didn't turn back.

 We stayed at San Lorenzo Regional Park in King City but really wished we had stayed at Pinnacles.   San Lorenzo was nice and we enjoyed it but the national park campground was nicer and more convenient.
