Best Indication That Austin Is Becoming A Big City

Mount Bonnell at Covert Park

Tree-shrouded Mount Bonnell, with its 785-foot high view of Lake Austin and downtown Austin, has a curfew 9pm-4am. Due to problems in patrolling the area late at night and the increase in crime, officers run off picnickers promptly at 10pm. The other 17 hours a day, it's still a great place to show off the beauty of the Hill Country to athletic out-of-towners.
