Catch sunset from the top of the Rock and stay up to see some stars!

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.

Difficulty: challenging
