Enchanted Rock is a famous pink granite mountain in Llano Uplift located approximately 18 miles north of Fredericksburg. The Enchanted Rock Loop Trail is a 6.2-mile lightly trafficked loop trail that runs along the floodplain of the Sandy Creek. It is the longest trail in the park, and probably the easiest trail, terrain-wise at Enchanted Rock. Used mainly by hikers, the trail consists of crushed granite and is largely flat, wide, and typically easy to navigate with a few exceptions. It snakes past incredible rock formations that resemble mushrooms, with wide tops. Part of the trail tracks old jeep trails from the land's ranching days, and the hike to the top of the rock is challenging but well worth the effort once you reach the top.
