A Landmark Worth the Drive

Enchanted Rock State Natural Area sits on the Llano County line and draws hikers, climbers, and stargazers from across the state. The summit trail is a 0.6-mile climb over bare granite to the top of the dome. While steep in places, the trail is accessible to most visitors in reasonable shape, and the views from the top stretch for miles in every direction.

Standing on top of Enchanted Rock, you understand immediately why the Tonkawa considered this place sacred."

It’s been the site of countless marriage proposal, family excursions and more – and it’s just waiting for you to make your own memories there.
