Tips from the Community

Cody
March 29, 2026, The Pinnacle

My wife and I just completed this hike and it was roughly ~7 miles. Towards the end of the trail you’ll come to a clearing and on your left there’s small trail that leads to the nice perch where you can see 360 degrees! We are a bit skeptical on the Komoot difficulty and athletic ability as walking up to the summit is loose rock so sure-footedness is a must. We brought a gallon of water and 3 mres. We ended up with about a half-a-gallon left of water and ate the snacks of the mre! Side note: not a lot of tucked away places to make peepee! 5/5 hike!!

The Pinnacle, with an elevation of 5,008 feet, boasts stunning 360° views of the Jackson County valley. It is a fantastic reward for your hike, where you can stand on this stunning perch and soak up the sun. It's the perfect spot to take a break and capture some memorable photos before heading down the challenging rocky terrain to continue your journey.
