🦇 Exploring the BAT CAVE | Pinnacles National Park East Side Adventure (Bear Gulch)

Описание: If you're looking for the ultimate adventure on the East Side of Pinnacles National Park, the Bear Gulch Cave is it! This hike takes you deep into a dark, water-filled talus cave created by massive boulders collapsing into a gorge. It's like something out of an Indiana Jones movie!

We started at the Bear Gulch Day Use Area and tackled the classic Moses Spring Trail and Bear Gulch Cave Trail loop. Get your headlamps ready, because sections of this cave are pitch black! After scrambling over rocks and navigating the tight passages built by the CCC, we emerged to find the beautiful, hidden Bear Gulch Reservoir.

Watch the video to see:

🔦 Inside the Cave: Our journey through the narrow, dark passages of the talus cave, complete with steps and railings installed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

🦇 Bat Habitat: Why the cave sometimes closes (it's home to a huge colony of endangered Townsend's big-eared bats!).

🏞️ The Reservoir Payoff: The stunning, serene man-made reservoir tucked right into the high rock formations.

This trail is short but packed with adventure. It’s a perfect way to experience the unique geology of Pinnacles National Park!
