Whirlpool Cave Preserve
About
Austin, TX 78749, USA Get directions
Tucked into the limestone of southwest Austin, Whirlpool Cave Preserve protects a genuine wild cave carved into the Edwards Aquifer rock — not a paved tourist cavern but a tight, dark, undeveloped passage that local cavers have long used for practice. Come prepared for crawling and close squeezes, bring your own headlamp and sturdy clothes you don't mind getting muddy, and know that the experience here is about the raw geology underfoot rather than any built-up amenities.
Hiking

Barton Creek Greenbelt
Austin
Barton Creek Greenbelt is a 7-plus-mile ribbon of limestone canyon, spring-fed swimming holes, and shaded trail running right through south Austin, popular with hikers, mountain bikers, and climbers who scale its pocketed cliff faces. Whether the creek is flowing depends heavily on recent rain, so visitors will notice the water can range from deep wading pools at spots like Twin Falls and Sculpture Falls to a dry bed in the height of summer.

Pennybacker Bridge Overlook
Austin
A short scramble up the rocky trail on the north side of Loop 360 brings you to a clifftop view of the burnt-orange steel arch of the Pennybacker Bridge spanning Lake Austin, with the surrounding Hill Country rolling off in every direction. Come toward sunset when the light warms the limestone and the water below, and expect company—it's a well-loved spot, so the small pullout parking fills quickly.
Scenic Spot
Mount Bonnell
Austin
Mount Bonnell rises about 775 feet above the Colorado River, making it one of Austin's higher natural overlooks, reached by a short but steep stone staircase to the summit. From the top you'll get a wide view of Lake Austin, the surrounding limestone bluffs, and the hill country homes lining the water—best at sunset, though the early morning and evening hours mean it's a popular spot for both joggers and photographers.
