Located at the end of the Bear Gulch Cave Trail, you will reach the Bear Gulch Reservoir. Putting aside how fun that trail is, this reservoir is the perfect end to the hike! The area is so incredibly gorgeous, and pictures do not do it justice. We had planned to get to the reservoir, stop for a few minutes, and then hike back to our car. However, we ended up finding a nice place to sit and just taking in the perfect scenery. The sky was clear, the water so blue, and the area was so peaceful and relaxing. I don't know how busy Pinnacles typically gets, but we were here over spring break, and it was not crowded at all. Beach Gulch Reservoir is on the East side of Pinnacles National Park, so definitely recommend hiking to it when visiting that side. read more
