Reading Comprehension Pinnacles National Park, located in the state of California, is one of the newest parks in the National Park Service. Pinnacles was formed some 23 million years ago when multiple volcanoes erupted, and their lava flowed, and slid to form the park’s unique landscape. Visitors journey through grasslands, oak woodlands, and canyon bottoms. Hikers enter caves and emerge to towering rock spires teeming with life: prairie and peregrine falcons, golden eagles, and the inspiring California condo. Pinnacles was redesignated from a National Monument to a National Park in 2013, becoming the 59th National Park. It was originally designated as a monument because of its unique geologic features that are remnant of volcanic activity millions of years ago. However, the abundance of cultural and natural resources in the park, including its many federally protected species, made it a great candidate to be a National Park. In addition to hiking, rock climbing, and sightseeing, other activities are stargazing, bird watching, and cave exploration. There is certainly something of interest to every visitor, and because of this it is a great addition to our National Park system. 1 The best title for this passage is A) Pinnacles-The Newest National Park B) The History of the National Park Service C) America’s Na
