Spring Star Party with UT ASA
Sat, April 18, 2026
Join the University of Texas Astronomy Students Association for a fabulous Star Party under our Central Texas skies!
Join park staff and the UT ASA for a tour through space. Multiple telescopes will be set up in Parking Lot 1 for viewing stars, star clusters, galaxies and more!
As an International Dark Sky Park, Enchanted Rock boasts some of the darkest skies in this part of Texas, which means the stars at night ARE big and bright deep in the heart of Texas.
Meet: Park in Lot 2 (Summit Trail parking), and hike over the low water crossing to Parking Lot 1. Let us know if you need any special accommodations!
