I was hoping our late start might work in our favor, but the sky really didn't begin clearing until we were almost back to the car at 4:30. It was still a fun hike and it was great that D was enthused enough to join me (as long as it didn't mean getting up too early and even then I had to bribe him with breakfast at Denny's). The clouds kept the trail cool for the hike up and June assured that there was still plenty of snow.
D was ambitious - he wanted to hike up Bandera, then also hike up Defiance, but I was apprehensive about what might have been a 12-mile hike beginning close to noon. As it turned out, there was far too much snow to make it realistic anyway - maybe another trip. We did walk down to snowbound Mason Lake before starting back to the car.
