Little Bandera 2013-02-17

6.05 miles and 3,089 feet of elevation gain.

A hike from 2013 that was not posted.

A winter hike up to Little Bandera.  We hiked up the old trail and then at 3,250 feet of elevation, we found a good spot to leave the trail and started up the hill.  Once on the ridge, we followed it to Little Bandera.  The route over to Bandera looked too dangerous to continue our trip and we had been on the trail for three and half hours.  Time to head back.

A few inches of snow at the Ira Springs trailhead.

The ridge up to Little Bandera.



Just a few more feet to the top.  By the look of the trees it must get quite windy, fortunately it was a calm day.

Looking back down the ridge.

Looking down on Mason Lake and a little sliver of Lake Kulla Kulla.

Something of interest to Blue.
