The Violet Crown Trail is a 30-mile (48 km)[1] pedestrian and cycling trail in Austin, Texas. Established in 2006 by the Hill Country Conservancy, the trail follows Barton Creek from Zilker Park and Mopac Expressway southwestward before finally terminating at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.[2] The trail is mostly made of decomposed granite but has various links that are only suitable for hiking.
