With the hope of spotting some California Condors close up, John Trudeau led a hike to the High Peaks on Saturday, February 14th – Condor Gulch Loop in Pinnacles National Park. It was a spectacular 6-mile loop with an elevation gain of 1350ft. The trail started at the Bear Gulch area and went through or around some interesting caves to the small reservoir. Some hikers continued up to the High Peaks area covered in rock spires and equally impressive boulder-filled gorges and then closed the loop by coming back down to the Bear Gulch area.
