Return to Condor Crags

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.
