Trail in Pinnacles · California

4.2 mi · Out & back · Hard.

A steep west-side climb through chaparral to the park's signature High Peaks ridge, where metal handholds and rock-cut steps thread between soaring volcanic spires; panoramic Salinas Valley views and California condors riding thermals are the reward at the top.
