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 highball slabby boulder is approximately 30' feet tall. The crystals start out pretty nice, but shrink and disappear as you near the top. Making any of the multiple variations quite bold. Variations toward the left side of the boulder have particularly deadly landings. Regardless of which line you choose, do not fall.

Getting There

From the West end of the parking lot look for a trail near the last campsite, a short distance before the gate at the Loop Trail. The trail crosses the creek then forks into a lower trail to the left and an uphill trail to the right. The left fork will lead you to the Burbs II Boulders and the right trail leads to Morning Sun Boulder and All-Bran Wall. Follow the uphill trail to the right.
