    NATIONAL PARK SERVICE • U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Foundation Document Overview Pinnacles National Park California Contact Information For more information about the Pinnacles National Park Foundation Document, contact: [email protected] or (831) 389-4485 or write to: Superintendent, Pinnacles National Park, 5000 Highway 146, Paicines, CA 95043 Fundamental Resources and Values Interpretive Themes Fundamental resources and values are those features, systems, processes, experiences, stories, scenes, sounds, smells, or other attributes determined to merit primary consideration during planning and management processes because they are essential to achieving the purpose of the park and maintaining its significance. The following fundamental resources and values have been identified for Pinnacles National Park: • Landforms and Geologic Faults Reflecting Past and Present Tectonic Forces • Scenic Views and Wild Character • Talus Caves Photo by Paul G. Johnson • Opportunities for Research and Study • Native Species and Ecological Processes Interpretive themes are often described as the key stories or concepts that visitors should understand after visiting a park—they define the most important ideas or concepts communicated to visitors about a park unit. Themes are derived from—and should reflect—park purpose, significance, resources, and values. The set of interpretive themes is complete when it provides the structure necessary for park staff to develop opportunities for visitors to explore and relate to all of the park significances and fundamental resources and values. • Over millions of years, the power of volcanism, erosion, and plate tectonics created and transformed the Pinnacles Volcanic Field into the dramatic canyons, monoliths, and rock spires seen today. The offset of the Pinnacles Volcanics from the identical Neenach Volcanics 200 miles to the south provides key evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.
