Pinnacles National Forest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pinnacles National Forest was a United States National Forest in California. It was established as the Pinnacles Forest Reserve under the authority of the U.S. Forest Service by Presidential proclamation on July 18, 1906[1] with 14,108 acres (57.09 km2).[2] It became a national forest on March 4, 1907 when all U.S. national forest reserves were redesignated as national forests by act of U.S. Congress.[3] On July 1, 1908, Pinnacles was added to Monterey National Forest by executive order,[4] and the name was discontinued. The lands currently exist in Los Padres National Forest and in Pinnacles National Park, proclaimed as Pinnacles National Monument by Theodore Roosevelt in 1908.[2]
