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 Redtail Rocks are the two large boulders sitting prominently at the top of Flag Pole. Mesa is the more Westerly boulder and Pinnacle is the more Easterly boulder which butts up against the boundary fence. Nearly every exploitable feature on the upper faces of these rocks are incorporated into one established problem or another. Most problems are in the V0-V2 range. Cruxes usually come early, the top outs are kinda high, the down climbs will get your attention, but the landings are generally pretty flat.
