Condor Gulch

We drove up to the East side of Pinnacles National Park to do a hike in the morning as there was a heat advisory from noon to 5pm stating no hiking during those hours. We choose to hike up the Condor Gulch Trail: 3.4 miles round trip with 1,100 ft of gain. View as we were heading up the trail.
Lots of golden yellow landscapes
There are many gorgeous rock formations along this trail
A variety of shapes and colors
We were able to be in the shade most of our hike up, thanks to the beautiful trees.
Beautiful madrone tree
Views as we hike up the trail

We stopped and admired some of the rock formations on our hike back down the trail.
