Access Issue: Rule changes for pets and trail closures 30 minutes after sunset
Details
Rule Changes Concerning Pets at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area to Take Effect March 1.
Beginning March 1, new rules will take effect at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area designed to balance the need to better protect sensitive natural habitats atop the rock, including the vernal pools, and still allow visitors to continue to enjoy central Texas’ most popular destination with their pets.
Starting Tuesday, pets will only be allowed in specified camping areas, day-use areas and the Loop Trail. Pets will no longer be allowed to accompany hikers on the Summit Trail that ascends to the top of Enchanted Rock.
Most trails, including the Summit Trail, are closed 30 minutes after sunset, allowing park visitors to view the sunset and safely descend to the parking lot. The Loop Trail is the only trail open after sunset to gain access to the primitive camping areas.

Description
The Dairy Farm (AKA, Frog Pond) boulders offer the highest density of quality boulder problems within any area of E-Rock. From beginner to advanced, you can find a project here.
This area is almost always sunny, so its a good winter climbing spot. In the summer it can be a bit of a suffer fest.
Most of the problems are short, but quality. If you don't have a crash pad, this is a good place to go because most of the landings are flat and the top outs are low.

Getting There
From the main parking lot follow the trail through the gazebo towards the summit of Main Dome. When you cross a creek, turn right off the main trail onto a trail that follows (and sometimes goes through) the creek. Tend left, but stay on the main trail. Once you cross another creek, the Dairy Farm will be on your left. Approach time is approximately 10 minutes.
