Enchanted Rock Summit Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

This trail begins with a series of dirt and gravel steps constructed from pink granite that characterize the beautiful Enchanted Rock. Although it may appear to be an easy hike from a distance, the steep incline and strong winds can make climbing a bit more challenging. The trail winds to the top of the park’s namesake, and once at the top, look for the rare vernal pools—home to the delicate fairy shrimp and rock quillwort. It is important to note that these habitats are fragile, so please don’t disturb them. Keep in mind that the rock can be slippery in some areas, especially after rain, so be sure you have proper footwear with good traction before you start your ascent.
