Condor Gulch - High Peaks Loop, Pinnacles National Park, California

Hiking Condor Gulch - High Peaks loop in Pinnacles National Park, about 2hrs drive SE of the Bay Area in central CA. This is the top rated hike in this new national park, and it did not disappoint. It includes a good variety of views such as soaring rock spires/pinnacles, waterfalls, lake, tunnels, and caves. Best of all it offers one a chance to get a glimpse of the highly endangered California condors, the largest land bird in North America, with a wingspan reaching 9ft. Total hiking stats: 6.2 miles with 1800 ft elevation gain

Must have been fun getting to see condors and fairly close too. Like that you show many views and a lot of the trail and included the date. And that you didn't jump around cutting to a new scene every half second. Well done.

I had not heard of Pinnacles NP until recently. Thanks for the nice video. Even I would feel comfortable with those handrails. Great to see the condors.

Thanks. This hike packs a lot into a modest distance, and people of all ages can do it. Key is go early to avoid crowd and heat
