Enchanted Rock 2006

Our main Spring Break destination: “Enchanted Rock” near Fredericksburg, TX.

Andrew found a cool spot to pose

Andrew, Holly, and Michelle enjoy the view of 'Little Rock'

Andrew took this shot of the valley trail from part way up 'Little Rock'

Another shot of 'Little Rock'. There's actually quite a large valley between the photographer and that rock

An even tighter squeeze for Andrew (I wish I hadn't already used that 'Rock and a hard place' joke)

A closer, brighter shot of the shadow lurkers

A close-up of a really weathered section of granite

A decent overview of 'Little Rock'. You can just make out some speck-sized prople near the top

A rock, Michelle, and a rock

Enchanted Rock looms in the distance

From about a third of the way up, looking over at 'Turkey Peak'

From the bottom, a view of the diverging trails you can select.

Here's an idea of how crowded the place was

Hey, finally another self-portrait!

Holly and Andrew are off the trail

Holly and Andrew scouting out the way down into the valley. This is right before things get treacherous.

Holly finds another nice spot to relax

Holly in yet another fine posing spot

Holly's not resting. She's posing!

Holly takes a quick break

I'm using the camera's flash to illuminate a small cave

I think Andrew is trying to look scared here, but since Holly is relaxing behind him, it is hard to believe

Looking down from about half way up

Lots of folks resting at the peak

Lots of people lined up to get in

Michelle and Bruce

Michelle and Holly getting psyched up for the tough descent. You can tell this part is slick and steep

Michelle as we start our descent into the valley

Michelle, Holly, and Andrew near the bottom. That's not the main Rock behind them

Michelle, Holly, and Andrew near the bottom, with 'Little Rock' in the background

Michelle is waiting for me as I make my way out of a tough spot

Michelle snaps some candid shots while the rest of us climb around a bit

Michelle sneaks a photo of Bruce's derriere.

Now Bruce realizes there are no trash cans up here

One last look back at Enchanted Rock as we near the bottom

Part of the valley trail between the two main rocks

Same people as the previous shot, but without zooming in

Some cool formations

Some people trying to find an easy way down from Enchanted Rock

That's Holly and Andrew lurking in the shadows

The field of cactus seems less of a worry for Holly

The kids find a cave to explore

The slick part near where Michelle made her descent

The west side of Enchanted Rock and part of the valley trail

This is about one third of Enchanted Rock

This is where we came down into the valley between Enchanted Rock and Little Rock. — This is where we came down into the valley between Enchanted Rock and Little Rock. This is the route that made some college kids turn back and scared Michelle

We assume these are man-made steps
