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

A group of boulders clustered off the southwest slope of the Little Dome. The short approach and density of steep, excellent crack climbing makes this a fairly popular area. The Hamburger Boulder and the Grade A Boulder are the two largest rocks, both with excellent cracks. They are surrounded by small boulders that yield excellent bouldering and some shorter topropes. The cracks face various directions and shade is almost always an option. Certainly one of the top crack climbing areas in the park.

Getting There

Follow the Loop Trail to the southwest out of the parking lot and campground. After a few hundred yards, an obvious trail branches out to the right. Follow this well-maintained trail a short ways to the boulders.
