 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All crossings are relatively easy, a few requiring very short bushwhacks up/downstream. Last major crossing on Lincoln Woods Trail looks like it'll be dicey with more warm weather, and the first two on Bondcliff are fine with short bushwhack. All others are straightforward. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Small tree down near bottom of Bondcliff Trail - easy to circumvent. |

 | Comments: |
Conditions are really quite good for the Bonds right now, so get out there! Stream crossings may get more dicey as warm weather increases. Only ice above treeline at this point, if that. Otherwise, trails are very well-packed monorail after thaw/freeze cycles the past couple weeks, and snow levels off the monorail are same height, and generally pretty solid as well.
Saw 5-6 people out on the trails today. Great day for the Bonds! |
