Bendera Mt.
7 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 3040ft.
This is the second time I hiked Bendera Mt.. The first time was last year at May 9. Whether was good. View was spectacular when there was still a lot of snow. On that trip, we met Charlie and Jin Zhong. Since then we began to hiking together a lot.
Today, we (Jin Zhong, Jiali and I) started to hike around 10:30 and reached the summit at 1:15. We headed back around 1:30 and came back around 3:20. Although it was cloudy and raining sporatically, view of the mountains around and I90 below was not bad. On the steep and clear slope, there are many many wild floweres with various colors.
The whole trail is not that hard except the steep and clear slope. That slope cuts straight up the mountain. One gains 1800ft in elevation in 1.5 mile on that slope.
