Description
We celebrated my mother’s 85th birthday the best way we know how — by hiking to the summit of Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.
This photo captures our family making our way up the expansive granite dome, with the wide open Texas Hill Country stretching out behind us. My mother, leading the way with her walking stick and steady stride, proves that adventure knows no age limit.
Every step up this ancient pink granite monolith felt like a tribute to her strength, resilience, and the family traditions she has built. Hiking Enchanted Rock together has become a tradition every five years, starting when she turned 70. Each climb holds new memories, but the spirit remains the same — honoring the beauty of nature, family, and the unshakable determination she inspires in all of us.
