The ancient pink granite dome in Texas Hill Country didn't earn its name for nothing—it's pure magic. Located a short drive north of Fredericksburg, the place is a wildly popular spot to rock climb, hike or gaze up at the Milky Way. There are more than 10 miles of hiking trails, including the 4-mile Summit Trail to the top of Enchanted Rock.
After gawking at 360-degree views, hop on the Loop Trail—the only trail that welcomes four-legged hikers. Be aware that most hiking trails close 30 minutes after sunset. Camping options at Enchanted Rock are pretty rustic. The walk-in tent campground has 35 sites with restrooms and showers nearby. There are also two backpack camp areas at the end of a rugged 1 to 3-mile hike.
