Moro Rock is located in Sequoia National Park and it is one of the best short hikes in all of the California National Parks. This 1 mile round trip hike takes you to the top of a granite dome and lets you look down on the park and across to the Great Western Divide. It is a great trail and one you will not soon forget.

My knees are shaking just watching!
I went there on a field trip when I was in 5th grade. I got to the top I was running to the end and tripped. I rolled under the railing and was skidding toward the edge but my mom grabbed my legs before I went over the cliff…. Hmm maybe that why I'm afraid of heights now lol.
I remember hiking there it was a hell of a workout for me even though I went halfway
When you are there next you should try big baldy!
Check the winter trip here. 4K driving tour video here, it’s stunning winter drive : https://youtu.be/fKjGzdkKUnY
Bro, just found your channels, love the content, thank you!
Be aware going up there at night, it could be dangerous
I'm visiting Sequoia NP on March 31st and April 1st. I know we can't predict the weather, but does anyone watching have experience hiking Moro Rock during this early in Spring? I've been conducting research, but I've found mixed answers. Some say it is accessible while others say it is not. I'm going to steadily check the weather as the date creeps closer, but I'm just curious if anyone has any advice.
66, out of shape, and slightly overweight, I thought this a fairly easy hike. Had to stop a number of times but well worth the effort. Great videos and I am really enjoying your series.
Taking notes as I view. Damn this Covid.
God, I'm remembering how scared I was when I first went up it. I'm still too scared to face those heights again. If you fall. That's it, you're dead.
Thank you for sharing.
Does anyone know if there are currently Covid restrictions for Moro Rock? Are they limiting the number of people who can be on the path?
Ive went on that one i got so sick
I was there yesterday it looks different
Did you need any special permits to hike to moro rock at night?

At minute 4:00, they use your content 🙁
which trail did you go to/ start with?
Thank you for sharing your hike to the top of Morro Rock. I tried it and was one of the people that had to turn around. 😄
Went there today for the first time with my brother during the day , Such a beautiful experience. We were so hyped we went at midnight the same day brought our guitars and jammed out praising the Lord for his Goodness and glory . He is sovereign over creation . Also you could see the whole valley at night and all the stars , just as beautiful at night . Just make sure you have someone with you to be safe
My friend and I free climbed the face of it 20 years ago. Our Former Neighbor Danelle Stroh’s (RIP)Father built the original wooden stairway. She lived her first 14 years in a tent. I drove that road in a 55,000 pound Garbage truck for 23 years. We live just outside the Entrance. Cheers. Sadly 134 square miles of this just burned. The Sheriff just cancelled our Evacuation order today after 32 days.
love your adventure videos. I wasn't aware of this hike so I made this my birthday hike and I LOVED it!!
How did you get the stars in the background?
Thank you for the information 🙂
Just hiked it this morning and it was great.
Hi Josh, we’re coming to California in August this year from the U.K. and have been watching all your vlogs. Thanks for taking the time to doing them and they’ve been super helpful to us planning things
This looks amazing— how long did it take you to come up to the top? Including the little stops along the way for vista views? Heading there Tuesday with my kid and am trying to plan the day. Thanks so much! Love your videos!!!
Added to Bucket list! Thank you for your detailed explanations and just overall chill vibe, those night photos were amazing!! I've had dreamed of Sequoia trees for the past 2 years, hoping this year is the one I get to meet the giants and climb this awesome cooled magma chamber , can't believe that was underground at some point!
Did this yesterday and I was dying , but it was worth it to see all the views.
I went to sequoia in august of last year and it was very beautiful. This was my favorite part of it
I looked at the gear. You filmed this with the Sony a7 that's on that link?
