Pinnacles
a spur to eerie volcanic spires
Stylized illustration, not a photo — the real place looks different (and that’s half the fun).
Pinnacles is one of the places Roamward flags on the Crater Lake Rim Drive because it gives the drive its texture: a spur to eerie volcanic spires. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
