Pinnacles National Monument has been working on a new general management plan (GMP). The last plan was completed in 1976. The general management plan will help provide direction for resource management, visitor use and interpretation, and facilities management over the next 15-20 years.

The Pinnacles National Monument Draft Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (GMP/EA) is now available for public review. A copy of the executive summary will be sent to everyone on our mailing list. Links to the executive summary and the full report are available below. If you would like a printed copy of the full draft GMP/EA (300+ pages) for your individual use, please email the planning team (e-mail us) and provide us with your mailing address.

For more information about the GMP process please visit 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.
