53) Pinnacles National Monument

Visited: Wednesday, June 27th, 2012

I love sites with historic content.

Megan likes site with natural beauty.

This makes _most_ of the NPS sites of particular interest to one of us - and usually of some interest to the other.

But Pinnacles offers - a limited amount of either.  It looks nice for camping, which appeals to neither of us, and the hiking opportunities had their interest hit by hot temperatures and high fire danger.  Leaving - a very small visitor center, and a nature center open only on weekends.  And a long drive off the beaten path to get there.  Still pretty enough to be nice to have seen, but not a standout, and not likely for a return trip.
