My first big hike of the year  Sucess!

Drove a solid 4 hours from my home in Roseville to Pinnacles NP and hiked this one, following it up with the High Peaks to Condor Gulch loop, back to my car at Bear Gulch.

Dayhike  Sucess!

Dayhiked from Bear Gulch. Happy to find the cave open today after rain had it closed all week. The hike was straightforward and surprisingly easy to North Chalone. After leaving my buddy and bagging Middle and South Peaks, it became a more tiring effort. Was surprisingly sore after this trip.

With South Chalone & High Peaks Trail  Sucess!

Started near Bench Trail-Bear Gulch Trail junction about a mile east of the Bear Gulch Nature Center. Hiked the Bear Gulch Cave with my wife and 3 young ones, then raced up to North Chalone and South Chalone before returning to the Reservoir and completing a Rim Trail-High Peaks Trail-Condor Gulch Loop.

Not Many People  Sucess!

I've been up there two times now and I only passed about a half dozen people each time. Perhaps most people don't care for a long, warm (hot?) hike up a nondescript trail/road through the chaparral. It's more for us dedicated peak-baggers than your average tourist I guess. But nice views of the surrounding countryside and really gives you a birds-eye view of Pinnacles National Park.

From Bear Gulch via Chalone Peak Trail  Sucess!

On the way to Oregon, stopped by Pinnacles to officially mark it as a new park. Took a few hours to do the trail to the park highpoint. Easy trail for fit hikers, fantastic views from summit at only 3300'! Would not do this in the middle of summer though.

Several Times  Sucess!

First time was in high school (1973). In 1980 via a traverse of Mt. Defiance. I even got my then non-hiker future wife to the top in the early 90's. The real challenge will be to get my video-gamer son (11) to the top this spring.
