The Best View in Sequoia {Moro Rock}


This was our FAVORITE park of Sequoia National Park! Getting to the trailhead involved driving the winding Generals Highway thru the park to the visitor center where we were required to hop on a shuttle due to the road being too narrow for two vehicles to pass. Shuttle drivers use radios to coordinate so they don't have to pass each other. 




This is one of the only spots to pull over along the road in Sequoia to admire the view.

From this trailhead, it's a short .25 mile climb up 350 rock stairs to the top! 

From here you can see the spot along the road where we had stopped to admire the view.




At this point we saw a young man beginning to rappel from the top! Not sure if this was actually allowed.




From the top you have 360 views of the Sierra Nevada peaks, San Joaquin Valley, Kaweah River and the Sequoia- Kings Canyon Wilderness.





After soaking in the views, it was time to head back down.



From the shuttle we had a different view of Moro Rock.

We passed the Tunnel Log on our way to the Crescent Meadow. This is tall enough for a small car to drive beneath.
