Review:
Perched on the Llano Uplift about 17 miles from Fredericksburg, a magnificent pink granite dome named Enchanted Rock can be seen from many miles around. To protect this interesting geological and historic area, the Enchanted Rock is now part of the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, which includes the Rock and the land south of Llano River between Gillespie and Llano counties.
Covering about 640 acres and 425 feet high, humans have been visiting the rock for at least 10,000 years as the remains of spearheads and similar artifacts indicate. Native people tell many legends and stories about it. There are more than eight miles of trails leading to the Rock, and you can find plenty of interpretive exhibits, wildlife, picnic areas, camping, and rock climbing opportunities.
