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
This obvious jumble of boulders is conveniently located and easy to find making it an ideal starting point for the visiting boulderer. There are established problems around 20' in height on all sides mostly in the V0 to V2 range, including a fun and easy crack problem on the front side (facing the parking lot). The landings are generally pretty good. Bring a pad.
Getting There
Located wear the Summit Trail meets the Echo Canyon Trail. From the Gazebo at the East end of the parking lot start up the Summit trail. Watch for the Echo Canyon Trail sign on your left as you near the top of the tree line. Stan and Lou's Boulders are located here. They are easily seen from the Gazebo.
