Join a Park Ranger to learn more about Pinnacles National Monument. Topics include geology, animals, plants, and human history. Programs include daytime talks, guided hikes, night hikes, and campground programs. Check the weekly schedules posted below, or at visitor centers and bulletin boards throughout the park for times, places, and subjects.

Night programs are offered occasionally on Fridays or Saturdays in spring, summer, and fall. These programs include full moon and dark sky hikes, bat viewings, and astronomy programs. Reservations are required for many of our night programs and space is limited. To allow more groups the opportunity to participate in night programs, any group is limited to six spots per program.
