Mount Bonnell

Over conference weekend we went on a family outing to Austins highest peak, a whooping 775 feet above sea level. It is far from the spectacular views in the Wasatch mountains or the majestic Rockies but it was quite beautiful nonetheless. The views of Austin and were gorgeous and green but we were equally impressed with all the million dollar house that line the river in West Lake. It really was quite amazing, Their homes are literally on the water and water garages for their boats. Very neat! Mount Bonnell was actually settled by Mormon pioneers who built a mill on the site but upon its destruction in a fire they moved west.
