Overview
Web Mountain SummitSummit Elevation: 5335 feet
Round Trip Distance: 5.5 miles
Elevation Gain: 3135 feet
Web Mountain is located along the I-90 corridor situated between more popular hikes like Mount Defiance, Bandera Mountain, and to the west Mailbox Peak. The hike to the summit can be done by following the rout to
Ridge Looking EastThe only problem is that after having ascended to P3 and scrambling up the boulder field you will need to continue on equally steep and confusing terrain. The reward for your efforts? A slightly better view and of course the view to the west no longer being obscured by the ridge.
Interstate I-90 can be heard and seen continuously after getting above the tree line. I always think when in that environment how probably thousands of people have driven by in the time I've been on my hike. They are missing out on the great outdoors, likely oblivious to the beautiful scenery that lies just a hike away.

Getting There/Approach
Trail RouteThe potentially confusing parts:
The first turn off the Ira Spring Trail. At the very first switch back heading up hill continue straight on a faint path. It becomes more apparent and eventually becomes much easier to follow.
After the switchbacks have gone on for over a mile a boulder field can be seen uphill. The path is not well marked there but another faint path leads steeply uphill to the right side of the boulder field looking uphill.

If you descend due south from P3You might want to add that if you're descending due south from P3, don't follow the fall line, otherwise, you'll end up in a horrible brush bash. Shortly after descending, start trending a little bit to the right (west). Don't follow the "obvious" route.

Re: If you descend due south from P3If you look at my map you will see the route that I took. I'm not aware of the old path. You might want to add a route to this page explaining how that detour goes. Sounds like it's easier than the trail I took.
