点评:I discovered Enchanted Rock State Natural Area back in late 1970. Before Tripadvisor.
Being rock climbers my buddies and I were always on the lookout for local climbing and fewer people. I spent many, many weekends here. Even a few weeks once. Now I live in the Hill Country and went back after a long hiatus. I LOVE it more know than ever.However, be advised to plan your trip. It may require an advance pass to be purchased. Cost is $8.00 per person. And, I am glad for that. It helps keep the crowds in control and lessens the impact on the natural area. For me it is much more beautiful now. I have slowed down to check it all out. The granite is a marvelous shade of pink, sharp and crisp. It has a huge granite batholith and the climb to the top of the mountain is totally worth it. You can get fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding from the summit. There are several trail's for every level of experience. Choose wisely. All of the trails are well marked and the park provides a very comprehensive map. Use it. Be mindful of the weather conditions. HOT in the summertime. Awesome in the cooler months. ALWAYS bring water.... Appropriate footwear is highly desirable. The park staff is wonderful and friendly. Their job, I am sure, is difficult enough trying to keep this area pristine. Do your part. Pack your trash out and pick up trash when you encounter it. Beware of your surroundings in the area. There is plenty of wildlife in the area. Stream crossings in some areas need your attention. There are plenty of plants that have there own protection, Stay vigilant. Pets are restricted to the "Loop Trail" and clean up after your pets. There are plenty of amenities to accommodate the needs. This is an absolutely great park. I have enjoyed it for 50 plus years. Hope you do to. Act responsibly for future generations.
翻译:我在1970年代末发现了魔法石州立自然保护区,那时TripAdvisor还没出现。
我和朋友们都是攀岩爱好者,所以总是寻找人少、适合攀岩的地方。我在这里度过了无数个周末,甚至有一次待了好几个星期。现在我住在丘陵地带,时隔多年后又回到了这里。我比以往任何时候都更爱这里。不过,建议大家提前计划行程。可能需要提前购买通行证,费用为每人8美元。我很高兴有这项规定,它有助于控制人流,减少对自然环境的影响。对我来说,现在的魔法石比以前更美了。我放慢脚步,细细品味。这里的花岗岩呈现出一种奇妙的粉红色,棱角分明,清澈明亮。这里有一个巨大的花岗岩岩基,攀登到山顶绝对值得。从山顶可以欣赏到周围地区壮丽的全景。这里有多条适合各种经验水平的徒步路线,请谨慎选择。所有步道都标识清晰,公园还提供非常全面的地图,请务必使用。注意天气状况,夏季炎热,凉爽的月份则非常宜人。务必携带饮用水……建议穿着合适的鞋子。公园工作人员热情友好,他们为了维护这片区域的原始风貌,工作一定非常辛苦。请尽自己的一份力,将垃圾带走,并在遇到垃圾时及时捡拾。注意周围环境,这里野生动物众多。部分区域的溪流需要小心过河。许多植物都有保护措施,请保持警惕。宠物仅限在“环形步道”内活动,请务必清理宠物粪便。公园内设施齐全,可以满足您的各种需求。这是一个非常棒的公园,我在这里已经享受了50多年,希望您也能喜欢。为了子孙后代,请您负责任地保护环境。
