It's a new year, but most of this trash has been there for a while.  We picked almost all of it up on the Chalone Peak Trail from the reservoir to the turnoff to the Yaks near The Driver.

This is where it all begins.....


This is the result.......


BTW, the rusty can in the photo is a very old beer can which needed a can opener(AKA church key) to open it.  It is probably 50-60 years old. Way before Bud Light Lime!

Tossing the photos from the 2015 Pinnacles Climber's Appreciation Day trash cleanup into this thread.  Thanks to Aaron, Dina, Cynthia and Tim.

Cynthia and Dina go down there and pick that up!  Now!


Aaron McDonald taking one for the team in a jungle of poison oak at the Tunnel Trail bridge. Yikes!


Trying to pick up anything we spotted within reason.


Here's all the plastic bottles we found.


Here's all the aluminum, glass and tin.


Here's all the other trash with an alarming amount of toilet paper.


Less trash next year?!?

Nice, Bruce. I should have taken photos of all the junk we removed form Bear Gulch Cave. There is some weird stuff that ends up in the pools below the trail railings, including iPods, metal water bottles, expensive sunglasses, etc.

I would really like to do some GPS coordinates and analyze the trash distribution pattern.

Trash picked up by Clint and me around the trail by the Balconies and Tilting Terrace.  Gotta love the diaper!  That is so wrong!

"Don't leave your baby diapers in the park"

"Don't leave your baby diapers in the park, you asshat."

that's not cryptic at all. and if you hold your tongue, that's kinda gross, unless you wash your hands first.

This isn't cryptic.

Look at what some knucklehead left at Tourist Trap!






Some nimrod left an empty plastic water bottle jammed between the blocks at the front of the dam. Classy.

Ah I get it...Mungie moved to the sierrasS

That explains the not being any BBL cans.
Unless he has switched to Modelo/Tecate.
But that can’t be....
