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
Zig Zag is a short, fun hand crack that climbs a face to the right of a dihedral high on the dome. A little scrambling is required to reach the start of the climb. Look for a dihedral formed by a boulder leaning up against the dome. Scramble up the face until you reach a good ledge just below the crack (easy 4th class). The crack starts off as a hand crack, and then narrows slightly at the top. Near the top of the wall, the crack starts to break to the right (awkward moves) and then heads to a ledge. The crux is pulling up onto the ledge. There is no anchor above the route, so be prepared to rig one, or save this climb for last an walk off the other side of the dome.
