comfort stations. Fuel is not available; you should bring your own. Hikes Hiking is one of the principal activities in the monument. Many interesting places may be reached by well-defined trails. They include the excellent, but somewhat strenuous, High Peaks Trail among the spectacular cliffs and pinnacles, and the Chalone Peak Trail to the highest point in the monument, 3,287 feet. For shorter, but equally interesting, hikes the trails in the caves area and Bear Gulch are available. Comfortable walking shoes should be worn for the fullest enjoyment of the trails. Help Us Protect This Monument Use extreme care with smokes and matches. Camp and build fires only in campgrounds. Use trash cans—don't be a litterbug. Please bring your own fuel—don't cut or gather firewood. Keep dogs and other pets in car or on leash. Avoid shortcuts—stay on the trails. Do not deface or mutilate anything. Do not disturb the wild animals. Don't collect wildflowers or other souvenirs. If you need information or help, ask a ranger. Naturalist Service During the summer, a park ranger naturalist interprets to groups the geology and other natural history features of the monument. Administration Pinnacles National Monument is administered by the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior.
