Sequoia National Forest Tours

This is a beautiful meadow in Kings Canyon National Park. The park is not far from Yosemite, but has far fewer people.

This is flower in a hotel's restaurant on top of the Ifugao mountains. Guest rooms are designed the same way as ancestral houses of the Ifugao people.

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.

See the full story of our hike up Moro Rock via my blog at http://www.aplacecalledroam.com/home/moro-rock-a-chance-to-touch-the-sky.

The shallow roots of a toppled giant sequoia. My son for scale.
