I had never been to Austin and my ex took my daughter and I here for a visit! Its nice and spacious with a gorgeous view and ppl actually wore masks walking the paths there! Wish we Couldve stayed longer but definitely will be coming back to visit!

Awesome scenic viewpoints of the Colorado river. Can get crowded at peak times but there are numerous viewpoints. Be sure to walk along the trail and you can avoid the steps in the beginning by going in on the end where its a gradual incline. Driving through the hills to get here is also a treat.

Great sunset point just west of Austin! The highest point in the city provides great views of the skyline and the Colorado River. Easy parking nearby. The steps are about a 5 minute climb. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy a picnic dinner if you like. Fantastic way to end a day visiting Austin!

Had a lovely time outdoors being able to check out the beautiful views, get some fresh air and just enjoy the day. The park has a large walk way and plenty of room to spread out. This was a nice find.

Such a beautiful place. But peoe should take care of the place, the visitors I mean, bunch of trash on the floor.

Good hiking place. You can have a nice view from the top. There isnt much to see here.

Great views and a small walk. + its really cold so bring warm clothes!

Short but sweet little trail. The 100 steps to the top didn’t feel like 100 steps, was pretty easy for me and my daughter to go up by herself. The view was nice, and the walk down the rocky trail was fun. Wish the experience was longer, but it could be a nice place to relax and bring some lunch.

We went with our 2 toddlers (2 and 3) to hike couple of hours. We enjoyed the trails that surround the hill (please dont litter) and delighted by the view of Colorado river from this spot... is just fantastic!

We went to watch the sunset it was really dark, no lights on the road or the stairs, someone tried to broke my side window, horrible experience. Needs more security! It is a beautiful place though... sadly I just had a bad experience.

Beautiful view! Little trails going back down. Just dont jump off the rocks to get into the parking lot. If you run into the road, walk on trails parallel till you get back to the stairs you walked up on.

Breathtaking view 50 steps to enjoy this Colorado river and Austin city viewIt has two three spots to enjoy small picnic or relax with book and music

Scenic spot with a short step hike..several viewpoints and a historical place as well in Austin...on road parking but can be tricky to get one during weekends.

Great and very unique view. A must visit when in Austin. Stairs gave my heart a workout :) . Also worth mentioning is the scenic drive leading up to and out of it is amazing.

A sight for tourist and locals alike. The sunset looks amazing and beautiful. Great to spend with a special person or family. Does get crowded (as in all the good spots to sit and enjoy the sunset) so be cautious on time of day you decide to visit.

Im a photographer, so I use this location for several Engagement and family photo shoots, but last night, for my birthday, I was able to go up here to watch the sunset together and enjoy the scenery. Very iconic place in Austin, highly recommend. Wear shoes you dont mind going up about 200 stairs in! The hike up is worth it!

Nice views of Austin. But we went at a busy time and there were lots of people not wearing masks and the trail is relatively narrow so hard to stay distanced.

Very nice view up there, the day was cloudy and couldn’t see the sunset in its full glory, but in a clear sky it makes a hell of a view.

Beautiful views. This is a place you can come and sit, read or write.It is also a cute little place for a date. You can bring a charcuterie board and some wine and enjoy the views.Ive only seen a few tables so you can also set everything up on the rocks too.

Not too hard of a climb ~ I did it in a skirt in 90* weather. Once you get to the top the view is spectacular!!No facilities, so other than a few photos and a quick snack, it’s a nice little place to get a quick leg and cardio workout.

CAR BREAK INS/SHATTERED WINDOWS WEEKLY. Beuatiful views however there is always glass in the parking lot. There are 3-4 break ins a week while tourists are hiking and leaving valuables in their cars.

Always a fun quick visit to visit lol. It is small so I recommend you show up early as parking lot will not be available. We parked in the street but even then it was still packed. I do recommend as a quick thing to do and sight see. Not much of a hike.

Its a must see location while youre in the area. The view is beautiful along the river and there are restaurants as well to dine by with a spectacular view while you eat and admire the scenery

A short walk up with a big reward. The views from Mt. Bonnell are wonderful. Catching a sunrise or sunset is a real treat. If youre visiting Austin or have lived here for a while it is one spot to check out if you get a chance. Parking is easy. There are two ways up, one with stairs and another is just a trail. It takes less than 5 minutes to go up at a leisurely pace. Not difficult at all. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

It was a nice hike going uphill with my 11 year old and my friends. The steps are pretty steep so if you cant make the climb you may want to take the back way and go up the gentle slope. Its pretty either way.

If youre afraid of heights, DO NOT GO! Youll freak out when literally anyone gets close to the edge. My daughter enjoyed it, and I enjoyed the price (FREE). If youre not used to driving up and down hills, get mentally prepared; the drive there is full of them.If Im not mistaken, this is the highest point in Austin.

Beautiful view! Great hiking trails all over the place, and a good picture view! Lots of parking space and good picture taking spot. Bring camera!

A good place for a short walk and a beautiful view. It was very hot though. I recommend an umbrella and a lot of sunscreen.

Omg i absolutely fell in love this place is beautiful so amazing Austin is breathe taking mount bonell is a must see

Beautiful!. Just park on the side of the street(where is permitted)and go up the stairs. Dont have to go too far for these views.

High theft area, learned from experience. Police said it happens all the time. Dont leave anything in your car. Amazing neighborhood, youd think it would be monitored better. Nice views of the sunset and clean park.

This place is beautiful. I love the sunset and beautiful homes you can look. I would make a date night there.

Not sure why it’s called covert park but Mount Bonnell is a beautiful place to watch the sun set or just hang out and take in all the surrounding beauty. I’ve been going here since I was a teenager the park used to be someone bigger some homes have somehow bought out the land hopefully they don’t wind up buying it all. It scares me that it says covert park I hope that doesn’t mean that the covert family owns it. Once anything is owned they start to try to make money off of it I would hate to have to pay a fee just to see Mount Bonnell but here I am jumping to conclusions.

Took my best friend to see the place... He said out was very peaceful place.. Also said wont mind living in one those big houses

Great Hike for a beautiful view! Be prepared... No restrooms or water

Nice little hiking spot. Good river view. However, maybe need more trash cans for dog waste. People just left them all over the side of the trail.

Nice place with little hike and ends with a spectacular view of Austin. Recommended to go at sunrise time or sunset time to see the beauty.

A gorgeous place to go and walk and see the views.

The park is beautiful! There are a lot of steps but its good exercise.

Beautiful views and I liked the information boards. Really loved the snocone truck being there when we came down.

Thats was a dream. Great feeling up there. If bike into the mountains. That will be a great workout.

Ideal place to see the sunset, a wine and a blunt! Dont forget to pick up your trash!

Gorgeous location, utterly free, not too crowded!

View is gorgeous, our new truck passenger window was broken into and my purse was stolen, we were blessed because they didnt get my wallet. Two other vehicles had smashed glass and were broke into.

Local recommended this as a spot to visit. My children and I were not disappointed. It has great views from up high. Nice short trails to walk around on. Picnics spots. We very much enjoyed. Also, make sure to read the sign about the history of the sight. Especially for you couples-(3 visits anyone?)

Youve got to see it to believe it so dont look at my photos until you do. Then take your own memories.

Beautiful overlook of the Colorado River.

Its was nice see boat going along the river and the nice homes within the hillsides. Be prepared for nice walk up flight stairs.

Mount Bonnel is my favorite place in Austin. Thats the most peaceful place I have ever seen.

Be prepared to walk and bring hiking or trail shoes. Steep climb to the top to overlook the river/ lake. Great view of Austin. Parking can be difficult, so come early.

Overview of the Colorado river and the (big) houses on the shore. The river itself is pretty huge on that viewpoint. Not a staple but nice to visit for a few pictures.

Once you get to the top of Mount Bonnell, youll see the most beautiful landscape of Austin. The site is amazing and going up those stairs will be absolutely worth it.

My wife and I love Mount Bonnell. Its a fun easy hike with beautiful views. It does get a bit crowded at times.

Nice scenery and good place to pass the time. May be overcrowded but take the time to go on low crowd times and find a nice spot for your own.

Good park great view nothing to brag about. Cant see anything unless you climb onto pergola.

At 775 feet, Mt. Bonnell is generally considered to be the highest point in #ATX!Its a super easy, quick hike, free entry and free parking on the street below, and so very Austin.

It was our first visit to Austin, and we loved the view of Mt. Bonnel. I could spend hours just watching the scenery.

My favorite place so far in Austin for getting a magnificent view from the high mountain. A really cool place to be away from the city hustle bustle

Amazing view, did not take long to hike up there, we had little ones which was a little scary but they enjoyed it as well!

The hike up 100 stairs isn’t the best, but the view at the top is absolutely gorgeous! Visit just before sunset and grab a seat to watch the beautiful colors in the sky. Bring your camera!

Great quick hike to get in and out of the heat. Kona Ice truck was a great addition after the hike.

Great views, a very scenic spot to enjoy!

Absolutely stunning, even on a cloudy day. The views are lovely, and it’s a pretty leisurely small trail. I saw some people running it, which I wouldn’t really recommend because it’s not really made to be that. There’s no bathrooms here or a whole lot of parking. This was about a thirty minute stop for me, but a good tourist destination.

At Mount Bonnell, you have hundreds of Austins most diverse residents getting insanely close to the edge of a cliff. Risking their lives for a picture of a Texas hill country sunset. One of the best views of Austin.

I love this place. My partner brought me here for one of our first dates, so that makes a bit more special. I enjoy this place more in the evening when the sunset is hitting. Bring a bottle of wine, & a little picnic & you are good to go.

Nice river views, very crowded on weekend, another rough/primitive trail down lower, following along the cliff, better not to go off main trail may get lost in brush or dangerously steep/gravel trail. Please do not paint the rocks & the plants, the chemicals are not good for nature. Please do not take any food or bottled drinks into the actual park, leave everything in the car, there is litter all over the cliff. Or at least please be sure to take it with you, dont throw it in the trash cans they provide at the park, just dont leave garbage in the actual park -at all-, there were also lots of wrecked trash cans laying along the cliff, that had blown off.

Good place for short hike great view of the city.

Tucked away attraction off Rd 2222 in Austin that’s worth visiting! Great outing for the family. Parking is free on side of Mount Bonnell Rd. Stone staircase leads straight up to beautiful views of the Austin skyline and surrounding area. Trails meander through the woods for hiking. A must do when in Austin!

Wonderful views of the Texas Hill country right outside of Austin! Also,a good place to take people from out of town to show them Austin. Its nice to see the fancy homes too.

This is an amazing place for a 30 min walk. Would highly recommend to make this a date.

Nice walk, fantastic views, fresh air! There are some evidence of car windshield broken glasses, be vigilent!

Absolutely one if my favorite spots. Its can get a little crowded on the weekends so I recommend a hike during the week. It is an easy climb so you can bring kids. The veiw is one of the best in Austin

Lots of fun with nice views of the river and the city skyline. It is a disappointingly short/easy hike; youll get to the top in about 10 minutes or so. Still, a pleasant visit especially with friends or family and food in tow. Id recommend you find some other activity to pair with it since this doesnt take much time at all.

Beautiful views! Nice trip!

Beautiful with amazing views, but it takes 15 total to walk the 75 stairs up and walk down. Mount is sincerely misleading. If you want fun views and an incredibly short hike, this is the place. There are a few picnic tables, but all were used when we were there. (Go down the hill to Mayfield park with peacocks for better trails)

Gorgeous every time of year. Come and hike the steps for good exercise. Nice short walking loop with beautiful views. Truly an Austin must-see.

The view is great from the spots where you can still see. But it is unfortunately overgrown with bushes that steal most of the view. Some trimming would raise this to 5 stars.

Beautiful views of the Colorado River

View is great for some pictures. Also short hiking what I liked it a lot

Great place to exercise and enjoy the view of the city. Great place to see the sun rise and sunset!

Visit to Mount Bonnell provide you with beautiful views of the Austin Skyline and Lake Austin. Numerous trails are in the area, and the hike up the stairs is well worth the trip.

Nice peak, hike is not as strenuous so can go for a quick leisurely walk!

Nice place to watch the sunset beauty in austin. Also we have the good view of 360 bridge.

Wonderful nature with exceptional views. Great place to see the sunset or go for a small hike. You can see the river on one side and the Austin skyline far in the distance on the other side.

Not too long on the way up the stairs. They do have smaller trails in and around park. Not hard at all. Good views!

BELLISIMA VISTA.... BEAUTIFUL PLACE.... SOME TIME I COME TO HERE WITH MY SPECIAL FRIEND AND FAMILY MEMBERS. THANKS SO MUCH.

Gorgeous view! Quiet for personal reflection, couples date to talk, or small group hangouts. Some bring food for picnics.

Had fun visiting from Ohio! Learned a lot!

Beautiful views. A great workout getting up there

Mount bonnell can be as easy or difficult as you make it and you have a choice! They have steps to take you to the top or you can take the hike up to the top which is not that difficult!Sooo many amazing views from up here overlooking the water and beautiful houses. There are spots to stop and take pictures, spots to sit and eat and have a good time with friends and family.Its very safe as long as youre following the rules and very fun!5/5! Would come here again!

Amazing place in the South of Texas...Austin. hot but nice breeze at top of the mountain. Mesmerizing view

Quick hike with great views of the Colorado River and Pennybacker Bridge.

One of the most beautiful views in Texas if you ask me! Short “hike” and you won’t be disappointed with the view

Beautiful hiking place !

Beautiful view. Definitely an experience.

Steps going up to a beautiful vantage point over the Colorado river. You can see the stunning homes lining the banks of the river. Theres a trail to leisure hike high above the river.

This park has stone stairs leading up to a stone patio and gazebo overlooking the river and the city of Austin. Once at the top there are other smaller stone trails leading off in different directions for a different view. Very lovely and the climb is not difficult.

Great views of the river, downtown Austin, and the east upscale neighborhoods nearby.

Its so pretty up there! Just wish there was more of a breeze haha but it was great for pictures

This is so beautiful, it is worth the 106 steps to get to the top
