The final stretch of the 400 steps leading to the top of Sequoia National Park's Moro Rock.

The granite dome rock formation is located in the center of the park, at the head of Moro Creek, between Giant Forest and Crescent Meadow.

We were greeted at the top by beautiful vistas of San Joaquin Valley. If I had it to do again, I'd time the 30-minute hike up to catch the sunrise or sunset with the spectacular views available. The road to Moro Rock is closed during winter months, necessitating a 2-mile hike to reach this dome-shaped granite monolith.

Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

10/10 Excellent

"I especially loved the cozy lobby - great for relaxing and enjoying the fireplace. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and extras such as the hot tub, welcoming wine, and 'smores were lovely touches. The room was also lovely and clean and charming. Highly recommended!"
