wildflowers at Pinnacles National Park

my annual trip to the pinnacles somehow got pushed to the wayside the last two years, but i'm back on track! pete and i had a fabulous hike today into the high peaks, down through the oak meadows, and into the caves. some of the wildflowers were past their peak, but there were still SO many! here are a few of the gems...


the ever-lovely california poppy


wildflower-loving ground squirrel


tiny waterfall


balcony caves
