What to expect
You'll start with a scenic drive to the Pinnacles, taking in the transition from coastal scrubland to desert. Once there, the walking begins—paths wind between the distinctive stone formations, each turn revealing new angles for photos and fresh perspectives on the landscape's scale. The sandboarding section is the physical highlight: equipment is provided and instruction given, whether you're a complete beginner or have prior board experience. Expect soft sand underfoot, direct sun exposure, and the kind of quiet that only vast open spaces deliver. The return drive offers time to decompress and absorb what you've experienced.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen, hat, and plenty of water. Wear comfortable closed-toe shoes for walking and board shorts or athletic wear for sandboarding. The entrance fee is included, but meals at nearby venues are your own expense. Not suitable if you have cardiovascular concerns; the heat and dune activity demand reasonable fitness.
