I’ve been here 3 times now and it’s always breathtaking! We took our three kids ages 1, 4, and 6 during our last visit. We carried the one year old in a backpack style infant carrier worn on the chest. The kids did great and LOVED it. BRING WATER.

Spent between 1 to 2 hours here in October as part of Texas trip. Been to Texas several times and seen alot of the state parks and enjoyed this one the best. Did 2 trails. Summit Trail - steep but you can zig/zag on the rocks when you get further up to make it easier, it was very windy at the top the day we went. It took probably 35 to 40 minutes for us to reach the top and quicker to get down. Also did Nature Trail - signs on the trail, pretty flat, there are some rocks to walk over on the trail. Overall, recommending doing summit trail and taking your time to get to the top and also doing early or late in the day.

Lovely hike from a couple who usually go from sunbed to bar! The day we went had rained so only the outer loop was open due to safety but we did the 4 mile loop and loved it. Nothing was too strenuous and you take your time, enjoying the views along the way

Great time to go when not as hot and humid. Had a very pleasant weather with clear blue skies. If it has rained recently they may close the summit trail due to getting slippery. Wear good trail shoes with good soles and the sandy areas on trail can also cause you to slip. Great views from the summit, and does not take that long to hike. Take some water along with you and take time to enjoy the views while climbing as well. There is bathrooms at the trail head and a store to buy some water.

Our friends we were traveling with had been here 15 yrs ago and highly recommended we all return. So we went on a Friday. First we stopped at the welcome station, however the bathrooms were closed. There are flush toilets near the base of the rock along with port-a-johns. Also there was a water refilling station. Off we went up the rock on a sunny but very windy day! It was quite busy with people of all ages. Wear closed toe shoes, a hat/sunglasses and sunscreen. The rock is steep looking in a few places but when you are actually on it it’s not as steep as it appears. It is not an easy climb up nor would I say it’s challenging but it is a workout. There are no loose pebbles but you will find areas that are not level so you must mind your step. It took us about an hour up and back and we sat and had a snack at the top. We also did the Loop Trail at the bottom. We returned at night for a Star Party at the base of the rock held in a parking lot. 3 rangers had telescopes and showed us various things in the night sky. If you’ve never attended such an event I recommend it.

Incredible oddity that is reasonably accessible for all. Walking up to the top is daunting but not difficult. We circumnavigated the entire rock which was also surprisingly cool walk. Just don't get sidetracked to the climbing area trails. The park does fill up, so watch your timing.

We did the Enchanted rock Summit trail as family of 5 (ages 9, 11, 13). We hiked up in 20 min and with looking round and walking down was 50 min. The view up the top was impressive. Be sure to take water. In summer obviously earlier in day is better because there is no cover. We hiked it at 10am. Our other traveling companion was in early 70’s and chose to stay at the bottom which was a good choice cause the path is steep and uneven.
