Special Thanks to Lance Allred

We extend our special thanks to Lance Allred for allowing us to use his beautiful photographs of Enchanted Rock in the slideshow that appears on the Home Page of our website! In his book, Lance draws on the work of specialists in many fields to offer a popular account of the park's history, geology, weather, flora, and fauna. Whether you want to know more about how Enchanted Rock was formed, identify a wildflower or butterfly, or learn more about plant communities along the hiking trails, you'll find accurate information here, presented in an inviting style. Over a thousand color photographs illustrate the enjoyable text.
