Discover Pinnacles National Park


Getting Outdoors

There are two distinctive caves in Pinnacles National Park which are open to the public during specific times of the year. Be sure to verify when the caves are open, and then plan a week or so of RV camping at Pinnacles National Park. Bear Gulch Cave hosts the largest maternity colony of Townsend’s big-eared bats between San Francisco and Mexico. The bats give birth here in the spring and summer. The cave closes when the maternity colony is still present so the bats are undisturbed. The Balconies Cave usually remains open when the Bear Gulch Cave is closed.

Rock climbing at Pinnacles National Park is one of the more exhilarating activities the park has to offer. Climbers ranging from beginner to expert can test their abilities on the park’s cliffs and spires. Pinnacles National Park has many different multi-pitch climbs found along Machete Ridge. Beginner climbers are advised to climb with a buddy or hire an experienced climber to work with them. Raptors call many parts of Pinnacles National Park home, so be sure to ask about any raptor advisories before you begin climbing.

A more moderate outdoor activity that many visitors of Pinnacles National Park enjoy is birdwatching. RV camping at Pinnacles National Park allows you to relax in style and still observe some of the 160 bird species that call the park home. Many birders camp for a while in hopes of spotting the endangered California condor; however, it may be just as exciting to view the raptors as they prepare their nests for their young.
