Descrição
Some 23 million years ago multiple volcanoes erupted, flowed, and slid to form what would become Pinnacles National Park. What remains is a unique landscape with chaparral, oak woodlands and canyon bottoms. The towering rock spires are teeming with life and you can see birds such as Peregrine Falcon, Great Horned Owl, Golden Eagle, Wild Turkey, California Quail and the inspiring California Condor, one of the most endangered species in the world, with only about 300 in the wild today.
Pinnacles National Park participates in the California Condor Recovery Program. In the spring of 2010, a condor was born in the park for the first time in years. There are now about 40 California Condor living in and around the park. The best place to see a condor is on the High Peaks Trail.
