A 30-plus mile regional pedestrian trail extending from Austin to San Marcos could be in the works.

The plan, through the efforts of Hays County, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos and the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance, would promote better connectivity in the area.

Mark Taylor, board president of the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance (SMGA), said the concept behind the proposed Emerald Crown trail is connecting the southern part of the Violet Crown trail in the Austin area to Purgatory Creek in San Marcos via trails in Buda, Kyle and San Marcos.
