Enchanted Rock Loop is a 4.1 mile trail located near Fredericksburg, Texas. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking. Note: Dogs are not allowed on the rock itself - only the trail loop.
Rather than following the hordes up the rock, consider doing the base hike. Much quieter and more peaceful. Greater chance of seeing wildlife too.
Very steep and awesome!
Fantastic trail, great view as a reward!
Hot, humid, sunny, steep....but worth it! Bring lots of water and sunblock.
Killer run around the domes and various granite outcroppings! The climbing here is about the only public place you'll place cams (climbing) for hundreds of miles.

Did about 2/3 of the loop then cut in around the lake to head up a gulley of boulders and around to go to top of rock. The loop is easy, rocks get a lot more challenging. When we went in to the park they told us trail to top was closed because of rain (makes slippery rocks!) but most people were still going up, it had dried quite a bit by the time we got there. Beautiful scenery!
An excellent trail with diverse views and terrain. Not too heavily trafficked so plenty of wildlife. The shade and breeze make it a good option in the summer. Suitable for families.
More like walking. It's an EASY loop. Very pretty scenery. Do the rock first to get your heart rate up then head down and do the loop. GO EARLY-LIKE REALLY EARLY!!!! They close fast.
