from the heights of Moro Rock

According to our NatGeo guide hiking up to Moro Rock was a must at Sequoia. We got there just as the sun was beginning to set and began the climb up as the sun slowly waned. 

Now, Adam and I are both pretty afraid of heights, so to decide to make the 400 stairs along a rock's edge was pretty bold of us. Limited handles along the staircase did not help matters.

However, as we spiraled the granite monolith fear was replaced by awe. Despite the hazy air (this area has some of the worst in the country, thanks to L.A. and San Fran), the view was incredible. Beautiful. Breathtaking. With hills and valleys in front of us, and the Sierras at our back.
