Enchanted Rock State Natural Area
For assistance with accessibility on any TPWD documents, please contact accessibility@tpwd.state.tx.us
Climb to the top of this unique pink granite dome that rises 425 feet above the surrounding countryside. It is one of the largest batholiths, or exposed underground rock formations, in the US. Tonkawa Indians named it, believing ghost fires flickered at the top and that a Spanish conquistador had cast a spell on it. The park is so popular with rock-climbers, hikers and campers, especially on weekends, that it occasionally fills to capacity and has to be closed; call before you go.
