National Park Adventures to Go On

More than 160 species, from woodpeckers to roadrunners, fly above the volcanic cliffs and canyons of our newest national park, an hour and a half south of San Jose, California. But the most thrilling sighting is the rare California condor, which, at nearly 10 feet, has the largest wingspan of any North American bird. Thanks to conservation efforts, roughly 30 now live at Pinnacles. For viewing tips, visit condor?spotter.com. —Sarah L. Stewart
