Along Balconies Trail, Pinnacles National Park

A sandy trail winds through dried grasses and brush and disappears into the rocks and cliffs on the horizon in Pinnacles National Park

"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. Travelers journey through chaparral, oak woodlands, and canyon bottoms. Hikers enter rare talus caves and emerge to towering rock spires teeming with life: prairie and peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and the inspiring California condor."
