From the Ranger Station, turn left where the road forks, cross a small creek, and then turn right where the road forks a second time. Go to the end of the road and park in the parking lot. The trailhead is at the Gazebo just west of the parking lot.

Route Description

From the Gazebo, follow the well marked summit trail straight up to the summit.

At first, he trail drops down into a creek at first, but then begins climbing up the rocky lower slopes of Enchanted Rock. After a few hundred yards, the trail ends and you are simply faced with steep granite slopes above. From this point, simply head up the best you can. You will likely have to traverse around several steep sections, but, if you stay on the correct path, you should not encounter anything more than 30 degree slopes.

Total distance to the summit is about .5 miles. From the summit, continue heading north (the direction you have been heading since the bottom of the dome) until you reach a depression just below the main summit. In this depression, if you look hard enough, you will find the entrance to a cave. This cave goes a ways down the side of Enchanted Rock and is quite fun to explore.
