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
A quality crack for sunny days as it's shaded by the trees. The crux is the OW top half. This pumpy route is definitely worth the effort to find.
Location
Follow the loop trail NE along Sandy Creek to the crossing which heads between Buzzards Roost and Freshman Mt. Go NW and look for a cliff band hidden in the trees. Mirage crack is the tallest route on Mirage Wall, right of a large leaning tree.
Protection
Trad rack - med. to large pieces for OW. Rap Anchor to descend
