Lincoln Woods Trail to Wilderness boundary barebooting is fine. Past boundary good idea to put on snowshoes, especially in the afternoon. I was able to make it all the way to Bond in microspikes in the mroning but on the way back I was in snowshoes because of softening snow. When ascending back into the scrub up to Bond from Bondcliff the broken trail goes off the real trail for about 100 feet, it's fine but with warmer temps watch out there may be some spruce traps hiding. Snowshoes a must between Bond and West Bond. West Bond Spur has two paths that veer off the trail to the right, stay left. I put dead branches across wrong paths so look for those. |
