Day trip to Enchanted Rock
I often get the out-of-nowhere urge to go somewhere.
On this day, it was Enchanted Rock. A massive pink granite dome near the beautiful German town, Fredericksburg.
From the north Austin area it is just under a 2 hour drive.
Going in late October, we couldn’t have asked for better weather. Not too hot or cold for the steep hike to the summit of the granite.
It’s steeper than it looks!
At the time, we didn’t need a reservation, but nowadays, I would definitely check before going.

At the top, the view is AMAZING! If you don’t hike all the way to the top, you’re really missing out. It’s windy with pools of water scattered all around, and if you search a little bit, you’ll find a cave to explore.
Pack a picnic, hang out for the day, or head into Fredericksburg for winery tours and good food.
It’s definitely a must-see when visiting the Austin area!
