Mount Bonnell

Fodor's Review:

Several miles northwest of Barton Creek Greenbelt stands Mount Bonnell. At 750 feet, the crag offers a sweeping panorama of Austin, the rolling hills to its west, and the Colorado River. You can't get much higher than this in the Austin area, and if the view itself doesn't convince you of that, the 100 steps to the top surely will. (Seriously, though, the short hike shouldn't present a problem to anyone in reasonably good shape.)
