Outdoor Landmarks / Hiking
Highest point in Austin, not much of an actual hike

Overlook Trail (3ish miles each way, nice overlook part way, decent elevation change)
Bat Observation
- https://goo.gl/maps/ZHfnn54qKY6icEq3A
- Austin has a bat colony. The bats migrate but they like to hang out under the Congress bridge.
- You can park in a paid lot or take the bus and watch the bats fly sometime around sunset. You can also watch the bats from the river or on top of the bridge.
- It’s really neat and an Austin staple. Sometimes there are a lot of people.
