Mount Bonnell - Austin (TX)

5 /5 Samiha Tanjeem: Never a bad sunset at Mount Bonell. This is my absolute favourite place in Austin for an escape from reality. The vibes here are always unmatched. PS if you don’t want to climb the stairs to the mountain top, use the sloped path that’s a little further than the stairs (keep going straight to spot it)

5 /5 Hesam Rezaei: I recently visited Mount Bonnell in Austin, and it was a refreshing escape. The short hike up—just over 100 stone steps—was manageable and led to breathtaking views of Lake Austin and the surrounding hill country. At the top, the panoramic scenery was well worth the effort. Its a peaceful spot, perfect for a quick nature fix without leaving the city. If youre in Austin, its definitely worth the visit.

5 /5 Ayush Gupta: Great place to do hiking, or just drive up and enjoy the scenic view. The Colorado river is beautiful! We went in the morning in late May, it was still pretty hot though.

5 /5 Gary Owen: Enjoy amazing views high above Lake Austin along the Colorado River. Enjoy amazing panoramic views of Austin City area as well as numerous Vistas around the surrounding community. Can enter and exit at lower or upper trail. Lower area is accessible by about 200 steps. Ample parking along road.

5 /5 Brian: Nice quick hike with good views of the Colorado river and downtown Austin. Be sure to do the full loop, starting at one end of the parking lot and ending at the other. There’s a good amount of free parking spaces.
