Pinnacles National Park

For me, the quintessential summer involves hiking and exploring the great outdoors. It brings back memories of stuffing into the car and just riding for miles on end. While I might not have appreciated it much as a child, today I appreciate those trips more than I can express. So when a friend asked if I wanted to check out Pinnacles National Park, the answer was an enthusiastic yes. The views were spectacular and I wouldn't mind staying there forever. Already making plans to go back Spring next year (if not sooner!)
