About Pinnacles
Pinnacles National Park, located in California’s Monterey and San Benito counties, was was originally established as a national monument in 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt. It was redesignated as a national park in 2013.
Ancestors of present-day members of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and Chalon Indian Nation traversed and managed the land area that now encompasses Pinnacles National Park, stewarding its resources centuries ago.
The park’s iconic landscape and rock formations attract thousands of hikers, rock climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts every year, and is a release site for endangered California condors that have been hatched in captivity.
