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.

Top Central Valley Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Sacramento Downtown-Arena by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service. Clean room"

Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and informative we came here early and gave us some welcoming drinks! She was very polite and knowledgeable about the area and she recommended some place around. Room was very clean and comfortable! Feels like were in a cabin. Although the heater was not working or maybe its on automatic? Because it was so cold from 10pm - 4am. Overall, we loved it and we had a great experience."
