The best time to visit Pinnacles National Park is from October through May, when temperatures are cooler and hiking conditions are more comfortable.
• Spring is the busiest season and may bring long waits to enter the park
• Weekday visits are recommended during busy periods
• Fall and winter are generally less crowded while still offering pleasant hiking weather
• Summer can get extremely hot, making many trails uncomfortable or unsafe
• Check current park conditions before your visit, especially if you plan to hike through the talus caves
