E-rock provided many outdoor activities like primitive camping, rock climbing, hiking, backpacking, picnicking, bird watching, geological studying, and star gazing. It's a great place for the outdoor man and woman, and it is also located just around 30 minutes from Fredricksburg; a cute, little, authentic German town.

It is filled with lots of history and culture (and a pay phone to call friends and family and tell them you were engaged). While we were there, we climbed to the top of this hill and sat and enjoyed the breathtaking view. We talked, he proposed, and then we spent a few more hours hiking and viewing the state park. It will definitely be a place we go back too.

Once the park reaches capacity during heavy use periods it will temporarily close for the day and then reopen at 5pm for those who have camping reservations. Call 915/247-3903 for information and reservations. There is a small admission charge. The reason this place is so fascinating is that the pink granite dome is so "suddenly there" as if it just landed from outer space or something. See it when the weather is not too hot, though, or be cooked.
