The Pinnacles National Park appeared in California only in 2013 and has not yet gained popularity, although it is only two hours from San Francisco. The name ("Pinnacles") gives an idea of what can be seen there: the remains of an ancient volcano in the form of giant stone towers scattered along the gentle slopes of the Coast Ranges.

If you are not afraid of bats and dampness, you can visit two local caves. The High Peaks Climbing Track leads high into the mountains over steep and narrow cliffs, but requires climbing skills. It is best to go to the reserve in spring to catch the flowering of the pink Kalohortus lily.
