Heading up Bench Trail.
The start of the Old Pinnacles Trail.
High Peaks trail as it is making its way up the incline. You can see that the path is narrow and rocky.
The creek in the winter. There isn't a lot of water, but it provides a lot of nourishment for the surrounding vegetation. There is a nice bridge to help cross the water.
After Spring rains, a little more water flows in the creek.
The narrow trail hugs the ridge line before it switches back on itself.
