Popo climbs Mt. Bonnell

Mt. Bonnell is a limestone hill on the side of the Colorado River between Austin and Lake Travis. Here nearly 85 year old Popo (Better Half's Mom) reaches the last of 102 steps up from the parking lot. That's pretty good. She has always been active.

Mt. Bonnell is a pretty park, as well, with picnic tables, old, dried juniper trees,

lovely views along the river,

and a view of where some of Austin's wealthiest families live in beautiful homes.

Fortunately for Grandma and for us, too, farther down the trail we found an easier descent to the parking lot.
