The trail is 8mi from Hill of Life to Barton Springs or viceversa. You can run point to point or out and back. There is also parking at 360 and Mopac. Popular for mountain biking also. It's fun to run from hill of life to barton springs, take a dip in the pool/springs and eat lunch and walk/run back. Hill of Life is half mi of rocky hill. There is a creek most of the way along this run and thus there is water to play in. Also there are a few bathrooms, I don't know of any water to drink along the trail so bring your own. There are many small trails of of the main trail for endless fun and miles of exploring. If you bring a dog, be careful for other runners and especially bikers!!
Park at Zilker Metro Park on Barton Springs Rd. The trail is off to the right of the pool and the left of the theater. Just keep walking until you find it.
