Bandera Mountain via trail
Chris and I met at the TNAB rendezvous point then drove to the Mason
Lake trailhead. Don and Linda pulled in a minute later.
Soon Don was setting a blistering pace up the trail, which starts
fairly level and progressively gets steeper until it finally levels
out when it reaches the top of the ridge leading to the summit. We
stopped at the first summit where the trail ends, I made a
half-hearted attempt to convince them to continue on across the ridge
to the higher summit and was a bit relieved when nobody was game.
There was no snow on the trail. We ran into 5 or 6 other parties on
the trail.
