The Bartram Trail is fairly good condition and easy on the feet with a fairly constant climb to the rock overlook south of the actual peak of The Pinnacle. Good view of the valley to the south. Surprisingly good variety of wildflowers, especially on the latter third of the trail. I tried, but did not find a side trail to the peak by hiking around to the north of The Pinnacle. Easily accessible with good parking at the trailhead. Cloudy and cool with temperatures mid 50's to lower 60's.
