Nice easy hike in Pinnacles National Park (only became an NP in Jan 2013). You turn east in Soledad, CA and take the paved road all the way out to the TH. We got a late start and had to park in the overflow lot, which adds about 1.5 miles. Beautiful rocks, small riparian area, and a fun scramble through a cave on the loop. Take a head lamp or flashlight. You'll need it. Quite a few people on Sunday. Note that the east entrance and west entrance roads do not connect.

Purported to be good climbing location, but only saw one group. Nice sticky rock and easy walk in.
