 NPS photo | |
Pinnacles National Park offers an unexpected refuge—for people, animals, and plants. Just a short distance from urban activity, it is a wild place surrounded by rural working landscapes. The park's namesake pinnacles reach toward the sky in stark contrast to rolling hills. These remnants from distant volcanoes create a striking, varied landscape that has attracted people for thousands of years and supports diverse life. It is rugged country, full of opportunities for exploration, escape, and wonder. Which will you choose?
Pinnacles National Park ofrece un refugio inesperado para gente, animales y plantas. A poca distancia de la actividad urbana es un lugar silvestre rodeado de paisajes funcionales y rurales. Los pináculos homónimos del parque alcanzan hacia el cielo en contra de los cerros ondulados. Los remanentes de un volcán distante crean un paisaje variado y deslumbrante que ha atraído gente por miles de años y soporta una amplia vida diversa. Es terreno escabroso lleno de oportunidades para explorar, escapar y pensar. ¿Cual elegirás?
Blended Heritage
PEOPLE HAVE COME HERE for millennia, drawn by the grandeur of the pinnacles. They sought resources, a home, adventure.
Native people harvested abundant plants and hunted wild animals. They used fire to increase plant yield for basket-weaving and many other purposes. In the late 1700s and early 1800s they were decimated by diseases unwittingly brought by the Spanish when they colonized Alta (Upper) California. Survivors were forced to assimilate, convert to Christianity, and live in mission compounds.
In the late 1800s homesteaders built farms in the valleys. The area's spectacular geologic features tempted settlers to come play. Homesteader Schuyler Hain gave tours of Bear Valley and the caves. He ran a grassroots campaign to protect the area, eventually leading President Theodore Roosevelt to establish Pinnacles National Monument in 1908. From 1933 to 1942 Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers built facilities and improved trails. You can still find their work in the Bear Gulch area and stone work on many park trails. Pinnacles became a national park in 2013.
Stewardship continues today with the help of partners. Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and Chalon Indian Nation members participate in habitat-restoration projects. Ranchers and other landowners help protect the entire region, which aids in the preservation of Pinnacles National Park. What will you do to help?
Herencia Combinada
LA GRANDEZA DE LOS pináculos ha atraído gente por milenios. La gente buscaba recursos, aventura y un hogar.
La población nativa cosechaba plantas abundantes y cazaban animales silvestres. Tenían muchos usos para el fuego, por ejemplo, usaban fuego para incrementar la cosecha de plantas para la cestería. A finales de 1700 y principios de 1800 ellos fueron diezmados por enfermedades traídas inconscientemente por los españoles cuando colonizaron a Alta California. Sobrevivientes se vieron obligados a asimilarse, convertirse al cristianismo y vivir en complejos misioneros.
A finales de 1800, homesteaders (granjeros) construyeron granjas en los valles. Las características espectaculares de la zona motivaron a los granjeros a explorar y recrear en la zona. Homesteader Schuyler Hain daba recorridos por Bear Valley y las cuevas. El dirigió una campaña para proteger la área, lo que finalmente llevó al presidente Theodore Roosevelt a establecer el Monumento Nacional Pinnacles en 1908. De 1933 a 1942, los trabajadores del Civilian Conservation Corps (Cuerpo Civil de Conservación, CCC) construyeron instalaciones y mejoraron senderos. Todavía puedes encontrar su trabajo en el área de Bear Gulch y el trabajo de piedra en muchos senderos del parque. Pinnacles se convirtió en parque nacional en 2013.
La buena administración del parque nacional continúa hoy con la ayuda de socios. Los miembros de Amah Mutsun Tribal Band y Chalon Indian Nation participan en proyectos de restauración del hábitat. Los rancheros y otros terratenientes ayudan a proteger toda la región, lo que ayuda a preservar Pinnacles National Park. ¿Qué hará usted para ayudar?
Rocky cliffs, chaparral, native grasslands, and oak savannas harbor a remarkable collection of life. Talus caves shelter Townsend's big-eared bats, while 13 other bat species roost in rock crevices and trees. The park is home to 30 species of reptiles and amphibians. With over 500 species of bees, the park has some of the highest bee diversity known anywhere on Earth.
Endangered California condors, once down to 27 individuals, soar again over the High Peaks. The park is within their historic home range—Amah Mutsun stories tell how the wasaka (condor) escorted spirits of deceased relatives to the next world across the sea. Pinnacle is one of six release sites for captive-bred birds. Today North America's largest land bird nests here. Condor numbers are increasing, but they are not out of danger yet.
Barrancos rocosos, chaparral, pastizales nativos y sabanas de roble albergan una notable colección de vida. Las cuevas de talus albergan a los Townsend's big-eared bats (murciélagos de orejas grandes de Townsend), mientras que otras 13 especies de murciélagos se posan en grietas de rocas y árboles. El parque nacional es hogar para más de 30 especies de reptiles y anfibios. Con más de 500 especies de abejas, el parque nacional tiene una de las mayores diversidades de abejas conocidas en cualquier parte del mundo.
Los cdores de California estan en peligro de extinción, una vez solo se encontraban 27 individuos, ahora se elevan de nuevo sobre los High Peaks. El parque nacional está dentro de su área histórica. Historias de Amah Mutsun cuentan cómo el wasaka (cóndor) guiaba espíritus de familiares fallecidos al otro mundo a través del mar. Pinnacles es uno de los seis sitios de liberación de cóndores criados en cautividad. Hoy las aves terrestres más grandes de Norteamérica anidan aquí. Las cifras de cóndores están aumentando, pero aún no están fuera de peligro.
Powerful Forces at Work
Evidence of nature's power surrounds you here. The rocks are two-thirds of an ancient volcanic field; the remaining third is found 195 miles to the southeast. This split occurred as the Pacific Plate moved north along the San Andreas Fault, creating the Pinnacles Formation. The Neenach Formation was left behind. Weather, water, and wind shaped these rocks, formed 23 million years ago, into distinctive spires and towers.
Boulders fell from cliffs and wedged in slot canyons below, forming talus caves. With cooler temperatures and sometimes precious running water, the caves shelter unique species and beckon the adventurous.
Fuerzas Poderosas en Acción
La evidencia del poder de la naturaleza te rodea aquí. Las rocas son dos tercios de un antiguo campo volcánico. El tercio restante se encuentra a 195 millas al sureste. Esta división ocurrió cuando la Placa del Pacifico se movió hacia el norte a lo largo de la Falla de San Andrés, creando la Formación de Pinnacles. La Formación Neenah quedó atrás. El clima, el agua y el viento dieron forma a estas rocas, formándose hace 23 millones de años, en picos y torres distintivas.
Las grandes rocas cayeron de los acantilados y se encajaron en cañones de ranura que se encontraban debajo, formando cuevas de talus. Con temperaturas más frescas y a tiempos aguas corrientes, las cuevas albergan especies únicas que atraen a los aventureros.
Wild Country
Step into the wilderness for an entirely different experience. Look up at the night sky for stunning views of the Milky Way. Listen to wind funneling through canyons or tickling native grasses. Enjoy vistas of otherworldly spires, enticing crags, and shrub-covered hills. Congress has protected 16,000 acres (65 percent) of Pinnacles National Park as wilderness under the 1964 Wilderness Act. Here you can get away, find solitude and peace, or challenge yourself in the spirit of adventure that has been part of this area for so long.
Paisaje Silvestre
Pise en las tierras silvestres para una experiencia completamente diferente. Mira hacia el cielo nocturno para disfrutar de unas impresionantes vistas de la Vía Láctea. Escuché el viento atravesar los cañones y pasar ligeramente sobre las hierbas nativas. Disfrute de vistas de torres de otro mundo, barrancos y colinas cubiertas de arbustos. El Congreso ha protegido 16,000 acres (65 por ciento) de Pinnacles National Park como áreas silvestres bajo la 1964 Wilderness Act. Aquí puedes escaparte, encontrar la soledad y la paz o desafiarse en el espíritu de la aventura que ha sido parte de esta área durante tanto tiempo.
