Absolutely gorgeous day finishing my 48 out on the Bonds - I understand now why everyone says they're the best views in the Whites! Lots of campers, runners, and hikers out enjoying the day and, even though it was a bit hot, we made pretty good pace and carried just barely enough water with 5L apiece. The N>S traverse was definitely the easier move and we finished in just over 9 hours. |
