We never get tired of the views at the top of Austin.

Mount Bonnell and Covert Park, sit above the Lake Austin portion of the Colorado River. It's been a popular overlook destination since the 1850s.

At the top of this iconic Austin location, is a vista for viewing the city of Austin, Lake Austin, and the surrounding Hill Country landscape.
