Hiking and More: What to Do on a Visit to Enchanted Rock

One of the best ways to recharge your batteries on vacation is by getting outdoors. Well, when you book your getaway to a Fredericksburg rental from Cozi Vacation Rentals, there are plenty of ways to disconnect and explore the Great Outdoors. If you’re looking to enjoy several activities in one spot, visit a nearby state park. One of the top parks near your Fredericksburg vacation rental is Enchanted Rock, which is filled with countless adventures like hiking and more.

A Guide to Activities at Enchanted Rock State Park

Only 18 miles north of Fredericksburg, Enchanted Rock State Park opened as a state natural area in 1978. Even before this designation, people were drawn to this area for its wealth of adventure and incredible natural wonder. Keep in mind there is an entrance fee to enter the park.

The Dome

One of the biggest attractions at the park is the giant pink granite dome. This dome was formed billions of years ago and is always changing and eroding. The Enchanted Rock dome is an exfoliation dome, which means it has layers. Visitors to the park can climb the dome, which rises 425 feet above base elevation, to enjoy stunning views.

Hiking Trails

While the trail leading to the top of the dome is a popular option, there are several other trails to explore during your visit. The state park features 11 miles worth of hiking trails ranging from easy to challenging. The half-mile Interpretive Loop gives you an up-close look at the animals and plants near Little Rock’s base. For a more challenging hike, work your way along the .7-mile Echo Canyon Trail.

Stargazing

Enchanted Rock is a go-to spot for those looking to enjoy a bit of stargazing. In fact, with its rural dark sky, it is one of the best public places in Central Texas to enjoy this activity. There is no bad spot throughout the entire park. Learn about the constellations at one of the Rock Star parties that take place throughout the year.

Plan a “Digital Detox” to Fredericksburg

If you’re looking to unplug for a little while, reserve a getaway with Cozi Vacation Rentals.
