- Pinnacle Hill May have had the last remaining peak of the Pinnacle Range. However, it is now gratuitously flattened and houses 2 fire pits with large sitting areas. Pinnacle Hill is different from Cobb’s Hill in that it is primarily used by mountain bikers more than dog-walkers. A significant portion of the hill is bike track. The trails and its stunt accessories are maintained by bikers. Trees along the trails are prone to being hacked to make more room, like the lone dead American elm near the peak that was perhaps the last of its kind in the Rochester area. Pinnacle Hill is also unique in that it retains some understory because its steep peaks are seldom accessed by deer. This includes witch-hazel, roundleaf dogwood and false Solomon’s-seal, but not the white trillium in Washington Grove. Dark-eyed junco, winter wren and eastern wood-pewee breed in its woods, but it has fewer wood thrush than Washington Grove. In April migration, it hosts sapsucker, flickers, hermit thrush, brown creeper and fox sparrows; May migration has not yet been recorded. Mourning cloaks and eastern commas bask on its peak in June. Turkey Vultures may be seen on the radio towers. Pinnacle Hill suffers from invasive species, such as periwinkle, garlic mustard and Osage orange, and it is still under threat from bikers. It has historically largely fended off development into suburban subdivisions with help from the Sierra Club. - - Pinnacle Hill was a significant landmark for the Seneca, much of whom are dead. Most of its pre-colonization usage is lost to history.	+ Pinnacle Hill was a significant landmark for the Seneca. Most of its pre-colonization usage is lost to history.
