Peaks View Picnic Area - Pinnacles National Park


During our March 2018 visit to Pinnacles National Park, we stopped at the Peaks View Picnic Area on the west side of the park. To reach the picnic area from the visitor center, drive 1.4 miles southwest of the visitor center on CA 146 and turn left at the stone entrance sign. While the parking area is gravel, it has been painted to designate parking areas for passenger vehicles and handicap placarded vehicles.

Entrance to Pinnacles National Park requires an entry fee of $25 per passenger vehicle for a 7-day pass. Any of the America the Beautiful passes may be used instead.
