2007.7.4 Bandera Mt

2007.7.4. Bandera Mountain and Mason Lake by I-90 exit 45. The slope was entirely covered with beargrass flowers. Standing close to the top of Bandera, the tip of Mt. Adams loomed into view. Bandera's north side still had two patches of snow, where I refilled my water bottle. Two half-liter bottles of water is not enough when the temperature went above 80.
After coming down the steep slope on all fours, the short trail to Mason Lake appeared to be a breeze (literally too). The lake itself is uninteresting.
