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.
Uses the anchors for Orange Peel. Uses the face and arete combo just to the right of the arete of Orange Peel. Starts on the wall at the base below the boulders used to start Orange Peel on the same level as the start for Clockwerk Orange. Combination of powerful liebacks with delicate face moves. Amazing route that is made more difficult by the presence of the tree branch half way up that the route gets in the way of. This route theoretically could be done trad by placing pieces in the Orange Peel crack.
