Original Event Description:
From finding constellations to specific stars. From myths and legends about these celestial beings to scientific facts and figures. We’ll spend our time looking and learning.

Meet at the gazebo at Sunset. We will be hiking up and back as a group.

Time: About 2.5 hours.
Distance: 1.5 miles round trip.
Elevation gain: 425 feet.
Difficulty: Challenging.

Bring:

• Sturdy walking or hiking shoes
• Plenty of drinking water (water may be unavailable on-site)
• Dress for the weather
• Flashlight (!!!)

Entrance fees: $8/adult; children 12 and under are free; no additional fees for park programs. Entry is free with a Texas State Parks Pass. You can make day-use and camping reservations online in advance at www.TexasStateParks.ReserveAmerica.com.

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. We will be bare eye stargazing. Feel free to bring your own telescope or camera.

All programs are weather dependent -- if it rains, the Summit Trail and all elevated trails and areas of the park are closed. All participants need to stay with the group the entire time. All elevated trails and areas of the park are closed after sunset, if not with a park ranger.
