How to Hike to Balconies Cave in Pinnacles National Park, CA

Located in central California, Pinnacles National Park is one of the more remote and lesser-known national parks. This park is famous for its dramatic rock formations and diverse wildlife, and is also home to the California condors. One of the park’s highlights is its talus caves, located on both east and west sides. On the more remote west side of Pinnacles National Park, you can find Balconies Cave nestled within the breathtaking rocky outcrops. The hike to Balconies Cave is a wonderful journey into the heart of ancient volcanic activity, with rugged cliffs, towering rock formations, twisted tunnels, and, of course, an exciting talus cave. The hike to Balconies Cave can be done from either the East Side (where the campground is) or from the West Side of Pinnacles National Park. From the East Side, it is a 5.5-mile round trip. From the West Side, it is a 2.7-mile loop or 2 miles if you just want to get to the cave and back. The West Side and East Side are not connected and are about a 1-hour apart by car. In this blog, we will show you how to hike the loop trail to Balconies Cave from the West entrance.
