Enchanted
Rock
Breath-taking, awesome, intriguing, and beautiful ... words alone cannot adequately
describe Enchanted Rock State Natural Area with its massive dome of pink granite! Indian
lore swirls around Enchanted Rock, which led to its name in the 1800's. Today, visitors
come to make the short but fascinating trek up to the rock's summit, where they are
treated to panoramic views of the Texas Hill Country. Scenic trails along the rock's base
are especially pretty in the spring, and high cliffs on the northwest side of the main
dome attract rock climbers. |
