 | Comments: |
Out & back from Lincoln Woods. At least 9 hikers through today; mostly with snowshoes so trails have a fairly nice track on them. Lincoln Woods Tr. and lower Bondcliff Tr. packed solid enough for boots/light traction. Once you start climbing snow increases in depth and most found snowshoes the way to go today. Bondcliff summit area being the one exception which was bare or thinly ice covered. Much deeper snow amounts in the Bond/West Bond area. Awesome day in the Bonds and nice running into several familiar faces. Hopefully other reports following with pictures capturing the day. |
