Beautiful Hike to Mt. Defiance only. Flowers in full bloom in meadow below peak. Busiest parking lot we've ever seen at Ira Spring lot.

There are 3 intersections to be aware of. The first to Bandera at 2 miles and 2 other near Mason Lake to find Defiance trail. It can be a bit confusing around the lake. Bring a map as always!
As stated previously, busiest parking lot I've seen for Ira Spring trail. Flowers were spectacular--lupines, paintbrush, bear grass, asters, phlox, tiger lilies, columbines...
