View of the sunset at a friend's ranch near Gatesville
You all know the sayings, “stop and smell the roses” and “enjoy the simple things in life.” Well, even though our blog has had many suggestions of adventurous and extreme activities, some of the most enjoyable and essential things in life are the simple things. When was the last time you just sat and watched the sunrise or sunset? If it’s been awhile, take advantage of the autumnal skies to soak in a beautiful sunrise (if you’re an early riser) or sunset.
Best places in and around Austin to watch the sunrise/sunset:
- Spot on Scenic Drive in Tarrytown that overlooks Lake Austin (where Scenic and Stevenson Avenue intersect)
- pretty much anywhere in the Hill Country
- The Congress Avenue Bridge
- Downtown office window
Spring sunset from The Oasis on Lake Travis
Summer sunset from a ranch in Blanco, Texas
Fall sunset from The Bank of America Building downtown

A friend and I got up real early one day to watch a sunrise at Mt. Bonnell and it was awesome! I want to do it again, soon!
