Established in 1908, Pinnacles National Monument is one of our oldest national parks preserving the unique Pinnacles rock formations, remnants of an ancient volcano. After 98 years, several local citizens recently established a friends group to support projects at Pinnacles that are critical to protecting and restoring park lands. These projects range from sustaining California Condor reintroduction project, celebrating the park's centennial anniversary, and supporting schools' abilities to use Pinnacles as an outdoor classroom. This fledgling organization exists thanks to caring contributors in the community. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit (Tax ID: 76-0849623), and your donations are tax deductible.
