Love the Pinnacles. Great spot to ogle at nature and check out cool rocks. Can drive around the place, which means you can walk as much or as little as you'd like. Stunning place for photos. No pets allowed.

Very quiet and scenic place to watch the sunset and come star gazing at night. Never seen anything like this before! Definitely a strong recommend to go.

Beautiful sunset and skyline. Totally recommend people to visit during the hours of sunset. No issue driving a 2WD and there are quite a lot of other drivers there as well if you are unsure. Sky full of stars. Beautiful night and interesting drive in/out.

Fabulous place to visit, the discovery centre has heaps of interesting information to learn about the pinnacles before actually going to look at them. There is a walking trail around them or you can follow the road around bearing in mind it’s a dirt road all around them but well maintained so 4wd not necessary. There are a lot more of them than you expect from various YouTube blogs you may have seen and all shapes and sizes, worth a visit if you’re in the area.

This one was on my bucket list for a long time Getting to see pinnacles that are thousands of years old and then waiting for dark to see the most amazing stars. I can't properly describe how beautiful, peaceful and other worldly it was ❤️

What a great place. I was impressed even though I was negative about seeing them. The park has put in a great drive around and plenty of stop offs to view and take photos. Well worth a visit.

A definite highlight of our WA holiday and a must see. A natural wonder that is free to enjoy and appreciate (apart from NP pass/entry fee). Make sure you bring sun protection. Best enjoyed on foot but there is a drive by/stop option.

The Pinnacles Desert is breathtakingly beautiful! The unique limestone pillars rising from the sand are like nothing I've ever seen before. It's like walking on another planet. The early morning or late afternoon visits are best to avoid the heat and crowds. The scenery is perfect for photography, and the surrounding landscape is equally stunning. A must-visit when in Western Australia!
