For trees so big, you would expect the cones to be much bigger. However, the sequoia cone can literally fit in the palm of your hand. Fire opens these up and allows the seeds to release and new trees to grow.

You can see fire damage to the sequoia trees along the trail. Some trees are still standing, but others have fallen or are just remains of large trees.
The trail crosses the road by a Giant Sequoia Tree, allowing you to get up close to one of these giants without even leaving the trail.

Moro Rock can be seen through the trees from the trail.
The trail leading up to Moro Rock is primarily stairs, so get ready to climb.

Descent at Moro Rock Trail.
Nearing the top of Moro Rock, all that is keeping you from going over the edge is a guard rail.
