The Moro Rock Trail in Sequoia National Park is a popular, short, but steep hike up a granite dome with breathtaking views from its summit. The trail starts at the Moro Rock parking area and ascends 350 steps to the top, gaining 300 feet in elevation in about 0.5 miles. From the summit, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Great Western Divide, the San Joaquin Valley, and the rest of the park. The hike is especially rewarding at dawn or dusk; there are truly stunning sunsets and amazing night sky views. The trail has railings for safety, but due to steep drop-offs, caution is advised, particularly with children. Free shuttles to the trailhead are available in summer during the park's high season, while in winter, the stairway is closed due to hazardous conditions. Visitors should avoid climbing during icy conditions or storms, as Moro Rock is prone to lightning strikes.

The view from Moro Rock is magnificent. The climb up the 350+ steps is definitely worth it.
