Mt. Bonnel in Austin

The theme of my blog is "Travel & Beautiful place". I would like to tell my travel story in this blog. First posting is about a beautiful mountain in Austin.
In Korea, we can see mountains everywhere. There are so many mountains and hills that it's almost impossible to find a place where we can't see them. My husband and I like climing and climbed a hill near my house everyday.
Austin is a beautiful city but it was very disappointing that we couldn't see any hills or mountains here.
One fine Saturday morning in last November, I was looking into the map of Austin to find a place where we can enjoy the beautiful weather. Then I finally found a mountain!! It's Mt. Bonnel. It only took 15 minutes by car from my house to get there. This mountain was not suitable for climbing because we could reach to the top of Mountain Bonnel by car. But the scenery from the top is so beautiful. I could see the Colorado river and beautiful houses along the riverside. I also could see Austin downtown there.
Mt. Bonnel is my favorite place in Austin so far.
