  • The late afternoon sun brings out the golden color of the High Peaks in Pinnacles National Park, California. The High Peaks, some of which are nearly 2,500 feet (750 meters) tall, are partial remnants of the ancient Pinnacles volcano, shifted 190 miles north of its original location due to movement of the San Andreas Fault. Three turkey vultures are visible soaring in the sky above the saddle between two of the peaks.

  • The golden light of sunset highlights the harsh environment near the summit of the High Peaks in Pinnacles National Park, California, illustrated in part by a radically-curved tree. The High Peaks, some of which are nearly 2,500 feet (750 meters) tall, are partial remnants of the ancient Pinnacles volcano, shifted 190 miles north of its original location due to movement of the San Andreas Fault.

  • Light shines into a section of the Balconies Cave, a talus cave in Pinnacles National Park, California. The park's high peaks are partial remnants of the ancient Pinnacles volcano, shifted 190 miles north of its original location due to movement of the San Andreas Fault. Talus caves, like Balconies Cave, are narrow passages in the piles of large rocks that have broke off and landed at the base of the peaks.

  • Viewed from near the summit of the High Peaks of Pinnacles National Park, California, a California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) soars in search of food. California condors are New World vultures that went extinct in the wild in 1987. They have gradually been reintroduced to California's coastal mountains and parts of Utah, Arizona and Baja California. However, they remain one of the rarest birds. California condors have a wingspan of up to 9.8 feet (3 meters), the longest of any North American bird.

  • The Pinnacles, a large cluster of particularly rugged formations in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, is turned golden at sunrise.

  • These tall, narrow pillars known as The Pinnacles were formed during the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Mazama, which formed Crater Lake, Oregon. Volcanic gasses rose through layers of dacite pumice and andesite scoria in vents known as fumaroles. With temperatures of 750 degrees Fahrenheit (400 Celsius), the hot gasses welded the sides of the fumaroles. After erosion carried away the rest of the pumice and scoria, these hardened fossil fumaroles were all that remained.

  • A prescribed burn to thin out some vegetation in the Crooked River Grasslands created some interesting patterns over these pinnacles in Oregon's Smith Rock State Park.

  • The full moon shines over the Conata Basin, located in Badlands National Park, South Dakota. Badlands National Park protects nearly 250,000 acres of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles, and spires, as well as the largest protected mixed grass prairie in the United States.

  • The solar corona shines bright over the pinnacle of a butte in the Mormon Basin of Malheur County, Oregon, during the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. The corona is an extremely hot plasma aura — as much as 450 times the temperature of the sun's surface — that extends millions of miles out from the solar disk that we typically see. The sun's surface is far brighter than the corona, usually outshining it. During a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the view of the main body of the sun, the corona becomes visible.
