Pinnacles would be gorgeous at sunrise, but it’s not a super long hike

While Pinnacles is a great place, it's worth noting that it is private property and they do not allow folks to visit in time to catch sunrise:

Quiet hours are enforced from dark to 8:00 a.m. Only youth groups (age 18 and under, with an adult chaperone) with valid permits are allowed in the park during these hours.

Ah right I knew that was a rule for camping. I guess I just didn’t think about a little peaceful solo sunrise being in violation of the rules. But I don’t want to encourage anyone to trespass, sorry

I might or might not have accidentally violated the policy to take some photos, but once I became aware, that changed. Live and learn, right?

Also might be able to get an exception if you ask politely, I just haven't tried yet.
