Kicked off the New Year at Pinnacles National Park. It has beautiful hiking - don't overlook it, Californians 🪨⛰️🪨
For me, Pinnacles is a one-season Park (winter), because it heats up so easily and I run hot, but there are plenty of cheerful maniacs who love it 365 days a year.

We sometimes get lucky and see the condors, but not this time. We did see plenty of turkey vultures cruising across the sky.
