On Sunday, Oct. 11, thirteen of us (11 members & 2 guests) gathered at the Violet Crown Trailhead on hwy. 290 at Brodie. Due to the Austin City Limit event in Zilker Park, we hiked in and out from the hwy. 290 trailhead instead of our originally plan to hike from Zilker Park to hwy. 290. The trail is nicely marked with the possible exception of where the bridge has washed out. We had to take a little detour there. Not much to report in the way of wildlife, but had lots of company with other hikers, bikers and fury friends. Actually, there was a someone walking with their turtle wrapped in a towel along the trail. After all, this is Austin.
The weather was tolerable and insect free. All in all a good hike for a Sunday morning in October in Austin.
Hopefully, we can reschedule the entire trail from Zilker to hwy. 290 in the not to distant future.
Happy Hiking, Jenny
