Activities

Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike Trail

2 Robert T Martinez Jr St, Austin, TX 78702, USA

The hike and bike trail goes around Lady Bird Lake in Austin. This is a lovely walk to see beautiful down town views and is easily accessible from the downtown room block. Pro-tip: head there early in the morning before it gets too hot and finish at the Lake Austin Juiceland for a refreshing drink after!

Mount Bonnell

3800 Mt Bonnell Dr, Austin, TX 78731, USA

The name might be misleading- its not the hike you think it is. (Definitely no 14'er) This short, easy walk will take you to the highest point in Austin. It is easy to drive to and takes less than 10 minutes to walk up, take in the view, and leave.

Website

Pennybacker Bridge Overlook

N Capital of Texas Hwy, Austin, TX 78730, USA

Another great view spot! Also a fairly easy, less than 5 minute walk to the top. Could easily be your next stop after you see Mount Bonnell!

Food

Matt's El Rancho

The best queso in Austin! One of Michael and Jenn's favorite places for Tex-Mex. (you have to order the Bob's) Be prepared to have one or two... or three Mexican Martinis while you wait for your table- really, its probably going to be a long wait.
