PINNACLES REOPENS
SOLEDAD — The west entrance of Pinnacles National Park reopened last Friday, Sept. 25. All park trails, however, remain closed except for the Bench and Sycamore trails due to high fire danger and the overloading of the national wildland fire response system. The west unit of the park located near Soledad will be open from 7:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. daily.
