1717. Moro Rock, Sequoia National Park
Wait! Have we not mentioned California yet? Have no fear! This Golden State hike is noteworthy for a number of different reasons.
With a distance of only 0.6 miles, it is the shortest short hike on this list. It should take no more than half an hour. It is still rated moderately difficult because in order to actually reach the top of Moro Rock, you will have to climb a total of 400 steps. Ah, but the view from the rugged summit of this natural granite dome is nothing less than fabulous. Here you can not only look out over striking Sequoia National Park but also the nearby Kings Canyon National Park.
