We arrived at the Trailhead at 8:30. The parking lot was already full which was expected on this beautiful Saturday. There was only one small patch of snow that was easily crossed near the top. The trail is dry with only a couple very small spots that had a little mud.
This is the first time I climbed Bandera. It was a bit more difficult and had a little more scrambling at the top than I had expected. One person actually fell pretty hard near the top on a scrambling section. We made sure he was OK. It looked like he had a pretty good cut on his elbow. It was very scary and I'm hoping that was the extent of the injury.
On the way down we passed at least a hundred people. On the way out the cars were lined at least a half mile down the forest service road.
