Join Hill Country Conservancy and our community partners to celebrate a major milestone—the grand opening of the new 
Mile Zero Trailhead and 
Education Pavilion
 at Zilker Park.
We’re kicking off the day with a festive 
ribbon-cutting ceremony
, followed by a morning packed with free, family-friendly fun, including:
Special remarks from community leaders
Guided nature hikes and “walk & talks” with local experts and trail builders
Bike rides with Austin Ridge Riders
Live music from Bat City Brass Band
Breakfast tacos from SLAB BBQ
This celebration marks a transformative moment for the Violet Crown Trail. The 
Mile Zero Trailhead and Education Center
 is a vibrant, educational entry point where visitors gather, learn, and connect with nature right in the heart of Austin.
What’s Mile Zero?
The trailhead features a striking steel “Zero” archway, a native wildflower meadow, a Butterfly Pavilion with benches, trail maps, and an overlook of Barton Creek with interpretive signage about our regional aquifer system. It honors the transition from city park to wildland while showcasing how native ecosystems protect our water supply.
Come celebrate the trail’s legacy—and its future—with us!

糊涂虫儿

As an ordinary tourist, I thought the procedure to enter the Capitol Building was very complicated, but I didn&#39;t expect that I could enter and visit just by checking the bags I brought with me.
This building was built in 1885 and covers an area of ​​51 acres. It was designed by architect Elijah E Myer in imitation of the Capitol Building in Washington. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
It is amazing that the passage of time has not affected its appearance and internal structure at all. It is as new as ever. Visitors can visit the government offices and have time to visit the exterior of the building to appreciate this century-old building from all angles.
