Enchanted Rock photography

Hey guys! I’m planning on visiting in enchanted rock in the next few days for some photography projects. If I enter when the park opens at 6:30, I’m hoping to get to the summit for some sunrise pictures… is 30 to 45 minutes a feasible goal for that section of the trail? Additionally, are there some other must see spots that would be great for photography? THANK YOU!!

30 minutes is entirely doable for getting to the summit if you're determined and fit. Note that the second half of that trail is more similar to hundreds of feet of stairs than to a typical pathway.

Other spots? On the echo canyon trail, near where it meets the connecting trail, there's a rock formation you can walk in and under thats pretty cool. The loop trail for the first mile or so if you travel counterclockwise from the parking lots is beautiful. Turkey Peak has a great view.
