Uploaded by TexasParksWildlife on Jun 11, 2009
Sometimes called "the heart of Texas," Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is located about an hour from San Antonio near the scenic town of Fredericksburg. The large pink granite rock rises 1825 feet above sea level and was considered sacred by the native American Tonkawa tribe. Today, humans are still drawn to Enchanted Rock for its panoramic views of the hill country. It's also a popular spot for hiking, camping and nature viewing.

Been there a few times. Last time was about 8 hours ago.

Technically you are not supposed to camp on top of the rock but there were people up there each night we were there. We went up to the peak in the late evening to watch the moonrise around 11 p.m. on a full moon night. It was AWESOME!

I climbed Enchanted Rock with my sister and her kids when I was about 19. It was so amazing, and the history was so rich you could feel it. I am now 29, but can remember the raw emotion the place evoked.

@catjones271 I suggest you contact the state park or look up wensite. It may be that things have become more restrictive. We also spent several nights atop neighboring Turkey Peak, where Bob got rid of some cactus to make more space that was circa 1971-1975. The dome south of ER is smaller and lower but more isolated look at far away Pioneer Mountain to Northwest--16 feet higher than ER and MUCH more isolated there are 2 interesting peaks North of Turkey Peak.

October 1977 slept atop rock with dad & Deputy Dog. At midnight, noisy students from UT Austin came up, Bob chewed them out. October 1995, went up with Frosty the Snowman (Samoyed dog) he waited while I went into boulder caves. Enchanted Rock, great Texas landmark like Carlsbad Caverns is to New Mexico.
