(posted: Jul 24, 2026)The 2026 raptor breeding season at Pinnacles National Park (PINN) is finishing up, and I wanted to give everyone an update on how the season played out this year.
PCAD 2020 Cancelled
posted: August 09, 2020
We just recieved this update from the PCAD organization:
Hey folks,
I have started getting questions about a PCAD for 2020.
I am sad to say that the event is just not feasible in light of everything that is going on with the pandemic.
The east side of the park remains under restrictions. The only access is by bicycle or hiking from the campground. No vehicles are allowed beyond the Visitor Center and there is a locked gate on the road. And, The park is also not adequately staffed this year to support us.
We will try again next year.
In the meantime, if you get out to Pinnacles or any of your other favorite outdoor places - please make an effort to help in any way you can and feel free to let us know about your efforts.
Stay safe and healthy,
JC and the PCAD committee
