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
Upper Grass Crack is located to the left of the Triple Cracks. Look for a thin flake that climbs up and left. The thin finger crack directly below the flake is Grass Crack (5.10). To reach Upper Grass Crack, climb the chimney to the left of the finger crack to an adjacent boulder. From the boulder, reach up into the Grass Crack flake, and work your feet onto the face. Continue up the flake until it merges into the wall. Transition right and continue up the face. Rap off the anchors at the top with one rope.
