- Michelle ZhouAugust 30, 2014Great 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!
- *iVy DelizNovember 4, 2014Condor 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.
- Eduardo HernandezDecember 18, 2016Beautiful 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!
- Shannon MorrisseyApril 23, 2018Beautiful hiking! And limited campsites. Don’t go between May and October because it gets super hot. Highly recommend!
- eric bornemannSeptember 4, 2020Out 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.
- Roxy LoAugust 5, 2013Bring 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.
- Kelley HutchisonJanuary 16, 2012For 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.
- Runqiu CaiAugust 24, 2015Do the 8 mile loop (starting on the east entrance and ending at the caves). There is some rock scrambling but overall is moderate.
- MegJanuary 3, 2014We 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
- Meenal KhandelwalAugust 13, 2018Amazingly beautiful night sky.. have not seen clearer milky way anywhere else..
- Antonia MaidlMay 1, 2016Great hikes and landscape! Remember to bring a flashlight if doing the cage hike!
- Melissa DagdaganSeptember 19, 2016Stop by the Visitor's Center, get your passport book stamped, and stock up on ice for your camelbak! :)
- Sergius MasterAugust 4, 2019Great view. Hiking is not very easy, especially when it's hot. You need a lot of water.
- Monica GutierrezApril 19, 2010- 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
- Best hike ever! Try Juniper Canyon Trail and watch the peaks for condors!
- Bonnie Boglioli-RandallApril 25, 2011Check ahead to ensure amazing caves are open (closed periodically for bats). Rest/lunch at reservoir. Great campsite!
- MegMay 12, 2014The 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
- Jenny YangFebruary 25, 2013Dear Mountain Gods, thank you for letting me finish my hike in one piece! :)
- Zach BehrensNovember 28, 2010There are two parking lots, so take note which one you parked in, or it could cost you an extra 5 or more mile hike!
- Kelly GrahamMarch 22, 2010Spring is the best time of year to hike here during the day. If you like rocks and condors.

- Amanda MorelandJuly 6, 2015Did not seem well run. Unfortunate that the trails are not dog friendly. Campsites were unorganized.
