A beautiful and unique hiking trail with a climb of about 400 relatively small steps leading to a viewpoint with breathtaking views of one of the Sequoia National Park's forested valleys. The route involves a total ascent of about 100 m and takes about 10 minutes one way (depending on the hiker's pace). As the ascent leads over stairs, the route is not accessible for prams or wheelchairs.

Author’s recommendation

We recommend arriving early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the big rush of visitors.

Turn-by-turn directions

We park our car in the signposted areas and walk from there along the marked path to the mountain's foot. Then we climb the stairs until we reach Moro Rock and enjoy the breathtaking scenery from the top. We return to the car park along the same path.

The route is suitable for all kinds of fitness levels; it requires surefootedness - the scenery at the top is definitely an excellent reward for the climb.
