We’ve been to Sequoia National Park more times than we can count, but somehow, we’d never made it up to Moro Rock. Last year, we flew out from North Carolina for a week-long adventure split between Yosemite and Sequoia. In Sequoia, we hiked the Lakes Trail, climbed Alta Peak, and wandered through the giant sequoias on Congress Trail. With only a few days to explore, we packed in as many hikes as we could. Moro Rock was saved for our last day – the grand finale before catching our flight home.

The plan? Wake up crazy early, drive 2.5 hours into the park, catch sunrise from Moro Rock, drive back to our Airbnb, clean up, and make it to the airport. Ambitious, right? After all the miles and elevation we racked up in Yosemite and Sequoia, our bodies had other plans. We were spent, and that sunrise mission got canceled.

Fast forward to now – this was finally our moment. Our first time hiking up Moro Rock... and it was covered in snow. We had the whole place to ourselves. No crowds, just icy steps, crisp mountain air, and insane views in every direction. Despite the chill, it was pure magic.

We’ll definitely be back – hopefully next time for that sunrise we’ve been chasing.

One of our favorite trails in Sequoia National Park, and with snow covering the ground, it felt like walking through a dream. 💭🌲🌨️

The giant sequoias stood quietly, as if they’ve seen it all before – storms, wildfires, sunshine, snowfall and yet they still greet you with grace.
We’ll carry this one with us for a while. 😌 🫶

There’s nothing like Devil’s Bridge after a storm – dark clouds rolling through, the red rocks glowing even brighter, and the smell of the rain still hanging in the air. The kind of moody desert magic you have to see to believe. 🌩️⚡️🌵🏜️

Giant sequoias in the snow are a whole vibe – calm, powerful, and standing strong no matter what the season brings.

It’s crazy to think these trees have been standing here for thousands of winters. Imagine the stories they could tell. ❄️🌲

We felt every step it took to get to the top of El Capitan – the burning legs, the freezing air, the relentless switchbacks, the climb up in the deep snow, the pure effort. 😮‍💨

But, up here, all of that faded. The world stretched out below us, everything felt still, covered in snow, and for a moment, it felt like time just stopped. We came for a challenge, for the adventure, but more than anything, for this feeling right here – completely alive, completely free. 🏔️😌

Snow-covered peaks, icy switchbacks, crisp air, and a trail all to ourselves – Winter in Yosemite is pure magic! Tough hike, but the views made it so worth it! 🏔️🥾
