GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Pinnacles National Monument is working on a new general management plan (GMP). The last plan was completed in 1976. The general management plan will help us make decisions on directions for resource management, visitor use and interpretation, and facilities management. It will also help us to decide how best to use the new Pinnacles Bottomlands we acquired in 2006. It gives you the opportunity to express your thoughts, ideas, and vision so that together we can keep Pinnacles a wonderful resource for the future.

For more information about the GMP process, please view or print the Pinnacles GMP Newsletter. You may also visit a web site called the National Park Service Planning, Environment and Public Comment website (or PEPC). It provides information about current plans and related documents. This web site will be updated whenever we have new information to share with you.

Latest: Newsletter #3: Preliminary Alternatives. This newsletter presents preliminary alternatives for managing Pinnacles in the future. The preliminary alternatives include different approaches to access, visitor services, trails and recreation activities, education, research, natural and cultural resource protection, infrastructure, park administrative functions, partnerships, and other topics.

Thank you for your comments on the preliminary alternatives.
