the enchanted rock is a bit lesser known than the other attractions. it is a long, scenic hike along a trail a couple of minutes out of downtown austin. the end of the trail offers an excuisite view that no other can give. and when that sunset hits it, its just magnificent. although the trail has been a bit run down lately, and the owners of the trail are trying to get volunteers to help make it look a bit more.. spiffy and sharp. they are thinking about having a new year clean up that everyone who wants can come to and help out with.
