Mt. Bonnell undeniably has one of the best views in Austin. After you hike up the long stone staircase you can go straight ahead to the pavilion to see a terrific view up and down Lake Austin. Or if you go down the trail to left you can see a great skyline view of Austin. As you follow the trail back up to the pavilion and beyond off to the left the views are a bit disconcerting. You can look down onto some beautiful homes on the lake. You can teach the kids some great lessons on history by having them research who the mountain was named for. http://www.west-point.org/joseph_bonnell/mt-bonnell_narrative_history
