Unbelievable views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are your reward fro climbing the 400 stairs to the top of Moro Rock. We only had one day in the park, and we spent a lot of times viewing the Sequoia trees, so we didn't make the two mile hike to the rock. We instead made the drive and climbed the steps.... More

This hike is a challenge--stairs and a steep climb. But well worth it. Offers adventure along the way and spectacular views at the top. I would not recommend it if you're afraid of heights. My family, with young adult daughters, loved the challenge and felt accomplished when we reached the top. It is a "must see" and adds to the... More

After miles of hiking we were not sure we could walk up the 350+ steps to the top. We forced ourselves and we are so glad we did. It was spectacular, the views are breathtaking and the hike itself is exciting.

Great views even if you don't reach the summit (350 steps). The summit was in the clouds when we visited but we had a view on the valley on one side of the rock. I recommend going there in the morning to avoid afternoon sun while going up the steps.

The hike up is strenuous but the views on the Eastern Sierra side are fabulous. Stairways are narrow and not suitable for younger children unless you carry them. Our younger one (7 yrs old) did get scared and came back down halfway up the climb.

Was a little hesitant to tackle all those steps, but glad I did! The view was incredible and unique. We had fun when we headed down the mountain watching for "our" rock as we switchbacked down to the valley. There are several places to rest if needed and some good viewpoints on the way up if you can't quite make... More

Several steps to get to the top but the views are awesome. If you are afraid of heights you may want to skip this.

Awsome view. I spent an hour to take many great pictures during the sunset. Don't miss it! We did not have enough time to wait for he sunset and wish to coe back soon. For those who have time, you can spend two days not only to visit the nearby areas but also to take great pictures of sun rise... More

excellent view once you reach the top. You need to climb a lot of steps but they are very safe. we have gone there almost once a year with our friends and we always enjoy it.

This view is worth the 350 steps you have to climb to get a 360 degree panoramic view of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
