  • Absolutely worth the effort. Watch your step, loose rock everywhere can be treacherous, but 10/10 would do it again even with the ankle injury lol If I had to do it again, I would likely go in...

  • I hiked the south rim trail in combination with the north east rim trail. It took me 6,5 hours. Due to the distance, elevation and heat you have to have some hiking experience. Bring enough water...

  • This is a long days hike but very worth it. We hiked the pinnacles trail first and looped back through the meadows at the end. Highly recommend starting early to avoid climbing in the heat. It was a beautiful hike with many impressive lookouts, I would recommend for any novice hiker!
  • Hiked on 10/21/20-10/23/2020. We stayed in Pinnacles site 1 for the first night, the second night we hiked to the southern rim to get a glimpse of this beauty and then camped in the Colima site 1. Both campsites had bear boxes and plenty of space. Unfortunately these pictures don’t do the view justice.. you’ll have to go for yourself. Bring plenty of water!
