Pinnacles National Park

Pinnacles isn’t, at first glance, the most picturesque of National Parks. The rock formations are often bleached in the sunlight, and the caves have challenging light conditions for photography. And while the condors are truly unique creatures, they have the kind of faces only a mother could love. But as the sun goes down and the animals appear, it’s a fun place to be, and when the stars fill the night sky, it’s awe-inspiring.
