It can be a bit of a drive depending on what part of Atx you are driving from. This is a great hike - DON'T WEAR FLIP FLOPS - and there is a beautiful 360 view from the top.

After a nice drive and a breathtaking flight of stairs, you are rewarded with a great view of Lake Austin and it's neighbors. There is also a great view of downtown. Best of all, the price of entry cannot be beat!

A little dangerous as far as vehicle security. Be aware and prepared, we are a large city after all. Things happen everywhere. Over all a must see with a date.

We went to the top of Mount Bonnell and saw the city of austin from the top but i wasn't really impressed with the view of the city. I wouldn't visit here again if back in Austin.

It took me a number of years living here till I took time to visit Mount Bonnell. It is now a regular stop when I host people here. The views are great and it is a fun place for a family picnic as well.
