If a trail in Pinnacles National Park starts to seem too hard, you might not be on an actual trail. My friends and I learned this in mid-April when an incredibly steep patch of dirt and rocks we had mistaken for Juniper Canyon Trail abruptly dead-ended, albeit with lovely views of the park’s soaring namesake pinnacles.
After an inconclusive discussion over whose fault it was, our group doubled back and learned yet another lesson: to climb up loose dirt and rocks is easier than to descend.
