Day Hike - Bandera Mountain

One of my favorite steep conditioning hikes off 90! It is work, but on a clear day will have views to rainier.

Leader's notes

This is one of my favorite conditioning hikes. There is moderate uphill and then steep stuff once you turn off from mason lakes trail. Heavy rain will cancel. A little drizzle is okay with me. Conversational pace (2 mph) with regular breaks and time at the top for pics and lunch.

I don't think we will need them but be prepared to bring microspikes.

Goal is to have a nice day outside. If we don't make it up due to conditions, that's okay with me.
