Enchanted Rock – Summit Trail

Near Fredericksburg, TX

Cool, Sunny, mid 50s

Ian and Court

1.4 miles

One of the first hikes we ever took together was this trail to the top of Enchanted Rock more than 10 years ago.

We don’t usually have the chance to do this trail, as we usually have the dogs with us and they aren’t allowed on the summit trail due to the fragile flora and fauna, not to mention extreme temperatures in the summer. We took advantage of this rarity and got out to the rock around 10am.

It’s only a 440 foot vertical gain to the summit, but the angle is fairly extreme at one point. Good calf workout.

We did a lap around the top and then back down. The views are nice and it’s always a cool experience to hike Enchanted Rock.
