Swoosh! Reminded me of the summers in Pentwater playing with a two handed acrobatic kite. You know the type of kite an Airfun employee would show off with? Well obviously there was no Airfun employee on top of Moro Rock playing with a kite, so I curiously looked around for the source of the familiar sound. It didn't take long to find that the familiar noise was coming from birds speeding past at high speeds.

Some 400 steps to the top, but man was it worth it. The view was absolutely breath taking. It was one of those places that words nor pictures can fully capture the magnitude of the beauty. Plus it was difficult to capture a 360 view with a camera that can go less than 180. On a clear day one can see literally for miles, and if not for the mountains my guess would be that the curvature of the earth would be noticeable.

As amazing as the view was I would not recommend the trip for one that is deathly afraid of heights. While there were "railings" the entire climb up, at many points it was only a two foot rock separating me from a deathly plummet. Not exactly a place to trip.

After Moro Rock I continued my day off by exploring around Lodgepole and happened to see my first bear while living here at Sequoia National Park.

Man, I'm jealous, and you've only been there a little while =p
ReplyDeleteMy next day off I am planning on taking a hike to twin lakes. 17 mile round trip. Should be epic. Also, I would ask you via facebook, but seeing as you no longer have one, what is your current address? You can send it via email. djmork11@gmail.com
