Pinnacles National Park is a small national park in the Pacific Coast Ranges of central California. Originally set aside as a national monument to preserve the unique geology, it became a national park in 2013. Today it is mostly known as the location for release of California condors raised in captivity. The park has an east and a west entrance, but no road between the two. Today we visited the west side of the park in the hopes of glimpsing a condor. We had previously
visited the east side in 2018.

| The "Pinnacles" are eroded remains of ancient volcanic activity. The San Andreas Fault lies just off the east side of the park. |

| Unsurprisingly, we did not see condors, but we did see quite a few turkey vultures. |
