Watched the Pleiades meteor shower from up here a few years ago. It's a great hike and the scenery is fantastic. Do it!
the view from the top of moro rock is breathtaking. but it is a long steep climb to the top. and if you are squeemish about hights it may not be for you.
We had a mixed flock come through as we climbed up the rock. Eye level views of orange crowned kinglet, red-breasted nuthatch, mt chickadee and more. The view west towards the coast on a fog filled valley day was awesome.
well worth it for the view even though ours what was not crystal clear that day. Favourite point for sunrise/ set
Smog, tough climb and lots of people blah blah blah! My family and I made it to the top in like 20 min. We were haulin it too because we wanted to catch the sunset. Out of shape? Yes. Winded? Yes. Worth every huff puff and all the pain for moving so fast? Yes. Here's the thing... The viewpoint is on a rock on the edge of a mountain. When you get there you already know there is going to be some kind of activity involved. If you can walk, you can make it up there. This talk about smog... Your like 89 miles or so from Bakersfield and I don't know exactly but like 195 miles from LA... Where do you think that stuff is going to go? Welcome to 2015 and a thing called transportation and heavy industry. Anyway, this place is amazing and you should definitely make the stop and stair step your self up to the top. Do it at anytime and it's great... Do it at sunset and it's epic! I'm out!!!
If you're not in shape, the climb isn't going to be fun, but once you get to the top, the view is all worth it!
It's a climb to the top, but worth the view - Even if you just go up partway. You can see all around you - up to the top of the mountains to the valley below.
This rock is unique to the west coast. I have traveled the east and west coasts and this area from central California to upper Oregon has unique features that you will not see on any other coast line. You know that when you see Morro Rock...that there is only one of a kind.
I loved the view. And the best part of it all was getting to the destination. There are steps and railings so anyone can climb to the top. It was a super easy trail. We had little to zero traffic when going up to the rock. Perhaps because there was thunder rattling before we reached the beginning of the rock trail, and people were coming down for their own safety. That is a big reason why we had no traffic. (Not safe but it was fun having rain come down on you.)Great place for photos and views of the canyons.
没有办法近距离的攀登,只能在远远的地方留下它的倩影。层层针叶林有序的排开,山顶还有雪山的痕迹,在蓝天白云下显得英姿挺拔。在观景点看视野开阔,山脚下一片绿意盎然,确是一幅壮丽的景象
