The Pinnacles National Park is located near Salinas, California. Our goal was to explore the west side of the park and visit the caves by hiking from the Chaparral Parking Area via the Balconies Trail, to Balconies Cliffs Trail, and into the Balconies Cave Trail. This 2.4 mile hike of spectacular landscape and hike trail through massive monoliths, sheer-walled canyons, and boulder covered caves offers an exciting unique experience.
