A TEXAS SIZE VIEW!

Eighteen miles north of Fredericksburg, Texas, on RR 965, a large dome of pink granite bulges out of the rolling hills of live oak, mesquite and cedar... getting BIGGER and BIGGER as you wind closer on the snaking Texas back road, this spectacular Hill Country Treasure is a must share with friends, family, children, parents! Winter weather makes kids of all ages want to go out and play! Exploring the GREAT outdoors makes us happier and healthier! So, why not start your new year with a climb to the top of Enchanted Rock? Be sure to pack some yummy snacks and plenty of water! Take your time as you climb. It's not a race and you really do want to see the Texas Size View from rock top... it's going to make you want to crow, "God Bless Texas!"

Dogs on Enchanted Rock
Your canine friend, if leashed, is welcome at Enchanted Rock, but test the granite surface with your bare hand before you climb with your dog... the surface temperatures, in the heat of Summer can
seriously BLISTER your dog's paws!
