Pinnacles

We spent a couple of days at Pinnacles National Park last week. We have now officially done every trail in the park, this time adding the Tunnel Trail to the High Peaks trail.

The day we arrived we hiked through the caves up to the reservoir.
Its a popular park for rock climbing.


I noticed a big bird in this picture but it was just a crow. 
The next day a beautiful condor did fly right over us.

This was the new part we had not traveled before...
the tunnel trail





Its always good to check the map
Three happy hikers
