Laura on the boardwalk stairs at Pinnacles National Park

A photo story

Pinnacles National Park

Laura was on the boardwalk stairs at Pinnacles National Park in October 2026. It was in the mid 60s, the sky was clear, and there was only a light breeze.

Pinnacles is a park of old volcanic rock and spires in central California, and the boardwalk is one of the easier ways to walk out into it. She paused on the stairs and I grabbed the photo.
