Hard to research, so here is BC site #P1, no fires, pet friendly, little view behind me is valley area, water access is more limited, small creek near / crossing before camp coming from connector trails (is in-between them), easier if gotten before camp.

I believe that this might be some of an upper part of an earlier fall seen from across Oil Camp Creek. It is a slippery crossing (especially with a pack) and not the only one along this trail but this one had a hand cable to hold onto so no problems.
This shows trail connecting with 6 & 20 Connector which may be 1 of 2 easier ways to use getting back to Jones Gap then rest of Pinnacle Pass on the right, a little further, becomes challenging again before end / joining Rim of The Gap in about 3.5 miles.

Part of Pinnacle Pass Trail will turn back into an old road it looks like where it is easier walking again. This shows trail connecting with John Sloan Trail which may be 1 of 2 easier ways to use getting back to Jones Gap then rest of Pinnacle Pass.
Pinnacle Pass Trail crosses Oil Camp Creek using an old bridge. Was very quiet, lunch and refill water area as trail continues up hill from here quickly just on other side or right is a trail out to Oil Camp Creek Rd I believe.
Climbing fast up steep parts of Pinnacle Pass trail, a few openings will give little views out into the surrounding valley you were just at with Oil Camp Creek.
Seen descending Pinnacle Pass Trail, a water fall across Oil Camp Creek, which later we walk across the slippery top of I believe or becomes part of it as the trail continues.
After Oil Camp Creek, parts of Pinnacle Pass Trail becomes more challenging compared to the first half, giving this trail its difficulty rating and time needed to hike it.
