Mount Bonnell, also known as Covert Park, is a prominent point alongside the Lake Austin portion of the Colorado River. At 775 ft. it is the highest point in Austin. While this view is pretty high up in the sky, don't be intimidated! The overlook of downtown and the 360 Bridge is actually more of a tourist destination than a workout, and is a great hot-spot for picture-taking. When you reach the top of the 102-stair climb, you can rest at the view deck and pavilion before making your way back down.
