Description
On the last day of our Spring Break 2016 my family and I visited Enchanted Rock State Natural Area to do some hiking in the late afternoon. During these holidays the park reaches full capacity in the early morning, so a mile-long line of cars form on FM 965 and it's not unusual for people to wait more than two hours to get in. This day in particular the temperatures reached the high eighties, so there was no way that we would do that. Instead we found a grill and a picnic table at the nearby Frontier Outpost General Store and grilled some sausages while we waited. Once at the park we decided to hike for three hours, and I envisioned this panorama after a few minutes of hiking. The clouds appeared out of nowhere and I was able to do a collage of six photographs. This is Turkey Peak, surrounded by the typical vegetation of the Llano Uplift, oak, prickly pear, and yucca. Thanks for looking.
