About this spot

The Pinnacles Geologic Site

The Pinnacles Geologic Site is a unique and stunning natural wonder located in the Great Divide closed basin watershed of Wyoming. This site is known for its towering pinnacles of eroded sandstone, which rise up to 150 feet above the surrounding landscape. The Pinnacles were formed through millions of years of erosion, as wind and water gradually carved away at the sandstone, leaving behind these striking spires. Visitors to the site can explore the area on foot, hiking through rocky terrain and taking in the dramatic views of the pinnacles.

There are several good reasons to visit The Pinnacles Geologic Site. For one, it offers a unique and unforgettable natural landscape that is unlike anything else in Wyoming. The area is also a great destination for hiking and exploring, with several trails of varying difficulty that offer different perspectives on the landscape. Additionally, visitors to The Pinnacles can learn about the geological history of the area and the processes that created these fascinating natural formations. Overall, The Pinnacles Geologic Site is a must-see destination for nature lovers and anyone interested in the geology of the western United States.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
