Hike to the Top of Mount Bonnell
Mount Bonnell is perfect for those who love a short but intense hike. Most people climb the 102 stairs in about 11 minutes but stay for the picturesque views of the Colorado River and the greenery below. There's also a view deck and pavilion at the summit to add to your experience. At 781 feet high, Mount Bonnell is perfect for picnics, though it's best to pack lots of sunscreen since Austin is almost always sunny.
