Enchanted Rock, Granite dome in Llano County, US.
The pink granite formation spans 260 hectares and rises 130 meters above the surrounding Texas Hill Country terrain, reaching 556 meters above sea level.
The granite structure formed 1.1 billion years ago when magma cooled and crystallized beneath the surface, creating part of the substantial Llano Uplift region.
Native American tribes including Lipan Apaches, Comanches, and Tonkawa considered this geological formation a sacred place with supernatural connections.
The natural area contains numerous marked trails, designated climbing areas, camping facilities, and interpretation centers for visitors to explore the granite landscape.
Small depressions on the rock surface form vernal pools that sustain transparent shrimp species and rare plant varieties during wet seasons.
