What a wonderful, small National Park, Pinnacles NP between the 101 and the I-5 corridors in Central California. I am so glad that I turned off the main highway and took the time to drive and then hike up to the ‘High Peaks’ trail on this wonderful fall day where the temperatures and everything was just right. And then the Pine Tree smells in the clear air, unforgettable.
