Somehow Pinnacles maintains the ability to inspire borderline heatstroke despite the December cool. I can't imagine what it's like in July. I did enjoy this big rock that looked like some sort of giant landing craft, though.
We'd run into this gang of otters on the Drake's Head trail. They just swam up and started having a nice time. Lovely!

Peace and quiet is all I all I tend to want for the holidays.
