Pinnacles National Park, Condors!!, Salinas, CA

While staying near Salinas, CA, on our last stop, we also spent a couple of days in Pinnacle National Park.  In addition to being another beautiful place, is has the added attraction of being a home of some California Condors!!  We were fortunate enough to see a couple of them!  So thrilling!:








Great hiking in the park!
 A cool cave on our trail!  We had to have flashlights....or pitch blackness for part of the trail!








first condor sighting!!!
 The Pinnacles Trail was pretty exciting and a bit strenuous!






second condor sighting!

this one flew right overhead!





great place, great hikes!

  2. We really enjoyed that park too...no condor sightings for us though, what a treat! WHen we hiked through the cave we saw bats close enough to touch!
