Kris Carlgren and I head up to Fredericksburg, Texas on a wet and slipperly day.

We made it to the top and traversed about 1/2 of the cave that runs through the back of the big granite dome.

[ 001 ] [ 1024 | 2048 ] A panoramic view of Enchanted Rock.

[ 002 ] The entrance to the cave. It's marked by a white arrow.

[ 003 ] This shot is from just past the first arrow and not actually in the cave proper.

[ 004 ] Trees and rocks around the cave entrance.

[ 005 ] This smallish hole is the highest entrance to the cave and where we entered.

[ 006 ] Kris navigates the first sort of room. He went first the whole way. = )

[ 007 ]

[ 008 ]

[ 009 ]

[ 010 ]

[ 011 ] Yes. We actually crawled through all these little spaces in the rock.

[ 012 ] Many of the rooms were tall enough to stand in.

[ 013 ]

[ 014 ]

[ 015 ] Kris squeezes through a tight spot.

[ 016 ] A promising looking hole which is actually a dead end is clearly marked by some helpful person.

[ 017 ]

[ 018 ]

[ 019 ] [ 640 ] This is me. I'm wet and a little scraped up. I look a little stoned in this picture for some reason. = )

[ 020 ] [ 640 ]

[ 021 ]

[ 022 ]

[ 023 ] Big rocks everywhere.

[ 024 ]

[ 025 ]

[ 026 ]

[ 027 ] I could make a joke here about Kris holding up a huge rock that had started to slide off the dome. However, that would be so lame. I think you should apologize to me for thinking I would do such a thing. For shame!

[ 028 ] A smaller rocky outcrop rises next to the main dome.

[ 029 ]

[ 030 ]

[ 031 ] [ 640 ]

[ 032 ] [ 640 | 1024 ]

[ 033 ] [ 640 ] Many of the rocks are huge as you can tell from this picture.
