ENCHANTED
ROCK STATE PARK
The Rock is a huge, pink granite exfoliation dome, that
rises 425 feet above ground, 1825 feet above sea level, and
covers 640 acres. It is one of the largest batholiths (underground
rock formation uncovered by erosion) in the United States.
Indian
lore swirls around Enchanted Rock, which led to its name in
the 1800s. 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.
