Great cave adventure --- good for both adults + kids . Morning hiking might be the best before the hot sun emits its full power. Remember to bring your own flash light -- it's a must!
Condor Gulch Trail > High Peaks Trail > Bear Gulch Trail is definitely a strenuous 6-7mi loop but worth every step. Stunning views and with a few sections of steps embedded in the rocks.
Beautiful national park . If camping during winter, time don't forget to bring thick blankets or you'll freeze! There's hiking , climbing, and even caves (headlamps required for these). Enjoy!
Out of the way small national park , but worth the trip. Lots of great trails but the balconies cave trail is really neat - bring a flashlight.
Bring your own food :) some sundries, beer , frozen foods, but not much just canned & dry goods. The 6 mile loop High Peaks via the caves is great for big views and mild to strenuous hiking .
We drove through Hollister and used the East Entrance off hwy 25. E & W entrances on Highway 146 do not connect through the park . Look at maps carefully especially if you wish to reach the campground
For an easy trail that's also full of sites, take the Moises Spring Trail . It's only a 2.5 mi loop & you climb thru caves , see rock formations , and end at a breathtaking lake .
Beautiful hiking ! And limited campsites . Don’t go between May and October because it gets super hot. Highly recommend!
Do the 8 mile loop (starting on the east entrance and ending at the caves ). There is some rock scrambling but overall is moderate.
Stop by the Visitor's Center, get your passport book stamped, and stock up on ice for your camelbak! :)
make sure to walk clockwise if you do the balconies hike .
Amazingly beautiful night sky.. have not seen clearer milky way anywhere else..
Make sure to bring extra water during summer hikes .
The link on foursquare for the campground location is inaccurate and lacking. Go to the website for the best info. http://www.nps.gov/pinn/index.htm
Great hikes and landscape! Remember to bring a flashlight if doing the cage hike !
- Hike to the Caves , it is an amazing experience, watch out for the arrows on the cae walls to know which way to go" make sure to pack a headlamp or flash light! :) Read more
Great view . Hiking is not very easy, especially when it's hot. You need a lot of water.
Beautiful hiking , but bring lots of water, it gets very hot in the summers.
Best hike ever! Try Juniper Canyon Trail and watch the peaks for condors !
Check ahead to ensure amazing caves are open (closed periodically for bats). Rest/lunch at reservoir . Great campsite !
Bring a lot of water. More than you expect to need.
Use the East Entrance south of Hollister & Tres Pinos.
Bring a.flashlight so you can explore the caves !
Come early to avoid the direct sun!
There are two parking lots , so take note which one you parked in, or it could cost you an extra 5 or more mile hike !
Beautiful! Not very crowded .
Dear Mountain Gods, thank you for letting me finish my hike in one piece! :)
Not too much do other than chill and go climbing.
Easy hikes .

Man this place is stunning...
Arrive early, this is more like a check out!
No signal for you!
Did not seem well run. Unfortunate that the trails are not dog friendly . Campsites were unorganized.
Get here early right when the West gate opens at 7:30am. The canyons are cool, you're headed down by the time it starts to warm up, and the High Peaks loop is totally worth the effort. - Scott Brown
Great for hiking and family camping ⛺️ - Camilia
