Condor Crags are rocky spires at Pinnacles National Monument, named by people who once saw California condors soaring over these lofty formations. In 2003, Pinnacles National Monument joined a cooperative program to restore these endangered birds to their wild, ancestral home. The goal is to reestablish a wild, self-sustaining population of condors. The high rocks at Pinnacles National Monument historically served as nest and roost sites for condors, and as the recovery program increases the number of wild-living condors, these rocky areas are intended to become home to this huge soaring bird once again.
