We drove up from SoCal for a weekend at Pinnacles NP and honestly didn’t know what to expect — ended up being one of the best spontaneous trips we’ve done. The trail system is surprisingly flexible, you can piece together loops anywhere from 2 to 10+ miles depending on how your legs are feeling. Highly recommend the bear Gulch or high peak trails if you want the views without destroying yourself. Made a vlog of the whole thing if anyone wants to see what it’s actually like on the ground — happy to answer questions!

I’d say the only con about the park is that camping outside the park can be a pain.
