A 425-foot pink granite batholith bulging out of the Texas Hill Country, humming with legend and an easy-but-steep summit scramble. Climb it at last light for a 360 over the live-oak country around Fredericksburg.

Plan around it
Access, fees, permits, and tour availability change with the season and the managing agency (tribal park, state park, BLM, or NPS) — confirm current rules and reservations before you go, tread lightly on sacred and fragile sites, and pack out everything you bring.
