Moro Rock Trail

The trail leading up to Moro Rock is primarily stairs, so get ready to climb.

Lights from the communities surrounding Sequoia off to the west. On the east side of Moro Rock, there are very few lights, making it great for star gazing.

Watching the stars come out at night on top of Moro Rock is great. Looking toward the Western Divide, there is little light pollution and the mountains spread before you, especially if the moon is out.

Nearing the top of Moro Rock, all that is keeping you from going over the edge is a guard rail.

Can't see the Giant Forest through all these giant trees.

The trail is great at night for star gazing. If there is a full moon, the steps are easy to ascend.

Looking back toward the parking lot, you can see the wooded nature of the surrounding area.
