KAWEAH OAKS PRESERVE REVIEWS
Beautiful park with great trails to walk. In January the weather was lovely though much of the foliage was in early stages of regrowth. Animal life consisted of quite a few bird species, the herd of cows that lives in an adjacent pasture, and lots of squirrels - with the exception of a few small reptiles and one surprised bobcat. For people interested in Geocaching, there are several fun finds here too!
This wonderful prairie oasis surprised us as pulling up to the parking lot the view can be deceiving. The trails are well maintained and we really enjoyed periodic benches along the way to rest up for a minute or two. If you have any minor interest in hydrology it's exciting to walk the trails and see the dams up close along the ditch. Very beautiful place to take a quick trip out into nature.
I truly love this place! Nothing calms me down and gives me peace as much as being in nature. I enjoy walking the many trails, sometimes encountering bobcats, and listening to the sound of rushing water. This preserve reminds me how precious the earth is, and why we must protect it.

SEQUOIA & KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARKS REVIEWS
Astonishing and shockingly beautiful. The path to the top is amazing to see, and very well maintained. There are water refill stations, restrooms, lodges, parking and even a free shuttle that allows you to move freely between landmarks. There are plenty of trails of all classes, and people are super respectful and welcoming.
SEKI is a fantastic long weekend get away. Water levels are dropping with less snow in the winter and little rain. Words can't do enough but it's great on many levels. Huge landscapes, peaceful meadows, and lots of great trails for all levels.
Beautiful parks! Definitely worth the time to go to both parks. Kings canyon has some great trees to see, but Sequoia is definitely worth a stop as well. Great places to walk around, many easy trails and beautiful things to see.

As Visitors climb the well-maintained concrete and stone stairway up Moro Rock, you'll catch glimpses of the majestic peaks of the Great Western Divide peeking through the forest canopy.

MORO ROCK TRAIL REVIEWS
Wow! This was definitely an amazing point on the trip to Sequoia National Park! You see the rock sticking up as you approach from the south visitors center and as you approach it's even more amazing. You get a panoramic view of the valley (make sure there's no chance of lightning if you go) and it's worth the steps. Very few visitors when we were there Monday morning.
Wow, what an experience!! Be prepared, because it’s 350 steps up to the top! Beautiful views all around and of the sierras. Definitely not for the faint of heart or fear of heights. Some sections only have knee high rocks instead of railings as a barrier. A couple rock ledges to walk under stooping low, some tight winding steps in sections and some narrow paths.
In Sequoia National Park, this is a must-do trail. There is limited parking, so plan accordingly. It's a 350-step moderate hike from the parking lot to the top. Beautiful scenery and view from the top is spectacular. Just be very cautious and focused on your steps.
