Austin, TX 78731
  Map to Mt. Bonnell Austin
Austin's Mount Bonnell is one of Austin's oldest tourist attractions being documented as far back as 1850. It is the highest point within Austin City Limits at 785 feet, but is actually smaller than Mt. Larson directly across from Mt. Bonnell but located in West Lake Hills. A wonderful place to picnic in the sun, Mt. Bonnell contains views of Lake Austin and the Pennybacker or 360 Bridge as well as wonderful vistas of downtown. The area is a short hike from the road and there is no entrance fee.

A Romantic Side Note: There is a legend that Mt. Bonnell was once called Antoinette's Leap, named after a damsel who leaped to her death to avoid capture from Indians that killed her lover, who fought to his death to defend her. Now generally considered safe, Mt. Bonnell is one of the most romantic locations in Austin. Lovers: keep your heads clear and avoid walking too close to the cliffs! Parents should keep an eye on their children as well.
Directions: Mt Bonnell is located off FM 2222. Depending upon your location, it may be easier to take Koenig Lane (this street assumes several names as it crosses town) until it turns into FM 2222 on the West side of Mopac. Alternatively, you can take Capital of Texas Highway to Mopac and go North until you reach FM 2222 or US 183 to Mopac and head South to FM 2222. Head West from Mopac on FM 2222 until you reach Mt. Bonnell Road and turn left. This road curves through several hills until you reach the parking lot on your right. Take the stairs from the parking lot to the vista.

FM 2222 is also accessible from Loop 360, in which case you will need to go east and turn right on Mt. Bonnell Road.
