Straight up from parking lot
Beggars can't be choosers in Texas; however, this mountain was very interesting indeed; I hadn't seen such a huge mass of pink granite before; definitely worth a revisit. Freshman mountain had some fun class 3, and a lot of cacti to complicate the route finding!

Lovely day
Tx Hill Country highpoint with cool geology - textbook quality granite. If you squint, it looks rather like southern Utah - all pink and orange. Despite Columbus Day crowds, I found a "remote" way to the top with fewer people. If I had more time, then I would return to hike the surrounding trails; I saw no one on them from the top of the dome.

Enchanted Wind
One of the windiest days I'd ever experienced.

Summer Afternoon
Super hot and zero shade. Don't forget water. Even during the heat of the day there were quite a few people up there. Easy enough of a hike though.

Climbed this so many times there is no way I could get it right... climb it every time I go back to Austin... Love this rock and the park...

Cool place
Stopped here on way back from Big Bend trip. Bigger area than I thought. Lots of scrambling to be had, just avoid the cacti. Worth the stop, nice park, we'll be back.

Climed turkey peak then over to enchanted rock. I really enjoy this area a lot of nice scrambling. Beautiful as well.

Enchanted Rock
Hiked to the summit. It wasn't very crowded probably because of the hot weather. This is a neat area to explore.
Beautiful warm spring day. The wildflowers were exploding in the meadows of the rolling Hill Country. This is an amazing day out but it is a crowded park.
Spent all day climbing to the three highest points in the park. Had a great time and wore out my legs. I had a great time and want to go back with a flashlight so I can check out E-rock's cave.

With lots of folks
We were first turned away by the park because of the multitudes enjoying this unusual rock. We came back later in the afternoon and paid our fare to climb this amazing feature in the hill country.

Slab.....Texas Style
Lots of fun slab climbing on traditional runout slab. What a great time. Had most of the climbing area to ourselves till noon time. Great time with Rockcritter (aka Deb) during our anniversary weekend. Highlighted routes: Boston (5.7), Hartford (5.8), Mark Of The Beast (5.8), MD 20/20 (5.9R)

Green but Sticky
Climbed several routes on Main Dome and really enjoyed the rock texture.

Finally
Though I was born in Texas and spent much time traveling the State, I had never even seen Enchanted Rock much less climbed it. Well, today was finally the day. Started out with foggy low clouds which made it seem like rain was soon to follow like the previous day. By 10AM the clouds were gone and the climb was on! Clear sunny skies and a stiff 20+mph wind, but none-the- less a great day on the big rock.
For a work out we go to E rock once in a while and just climb as much as we can from as many different non technically sides as we can. This day we climbed it 5 times each in under 11 minutes. Good Workout. Then we scrambled around the Kingdom of Zilch.
