Tibbets Park & Ride (exit 15 off I-90), 7am for carpooling. Drivers to the trailhead will need a Northwest Forest Pass.
Enjoy a beautiful hike on a weekday - there have been reports of gorgeous wildflowers, and the trail is snow-free. We'll aim to keep moving, with occasional snack breaks and a lunch break at the summit (or lake?) but nobody will be left behind. While the pace is moderate, please be prepared for the elevation gain - this should not be your first hike of the season.
Here's the WTA description. My hiking book says: "In spite of the hard work, the hike to Bandera Mountain is worth every step." Let's find out!
