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.

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean. Staff was friendly, but for some reason, they can’t get their act together about parking. They said it was $27 for valet parking but have no other options to self park or pay to park on their property. One person even suggested I park on a different property, which was weird."
