Moro Rock is a prominent granite outcrop in Sequoia National Park from whose summit you can enjoy a wide panoramic view.
Visible to anyone driving into Sequoia National Park from the south via the General's Highway: Moro Rock is one of the absolute classics among the sights in Sequoia National Park. On the hike to the summit, you have to master 350 steps (about 100 meters in altitude). The trail requires a little sure-footedness and a head for heights, but is well developed and secured.
