Plan emerges for hiking trail connecting San Marcos to Austin

SAN MARCOS, Texas (KXAN) – The San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance has dreams of building a regional hiking trail that would ultimately connect San Marcos to Austin.
The organization’s board president, Mark Taylor, met with Hays County commissioners Tuesday morning to introduce the idea. He says plans for the 10 to 14-mile trail would include a connection to the Violet Crown Trail that the Hill Country Conservancy is in the process of constructing from Austin to a point west of Buda.
