Moro Rock
A granite dome. Climb about 350 steps to the top for views over the Kaweah River valley and the peaks of the Great Western Divide.
Moro Rock is a granite dome at about 2,050 m above sea level. The stone staircase of about 350 steps, built in 1931, winds up the rock spine and climbs about 90 m. From the top, you can see the Kaweah River valley, the foothills and the snowy peaks of the Great Western Divide. The sunset is especially spectacular. The path is narrow, with a cliff on one side, so those who fear heights should be cautious. Avoid it during thunderstorms. On summer weekends, private vehicles are often restricted on the Crescent Meadow road, and you must transfer to a shuttle at the Giant Forest Museum.
