We did an overnight over the Twins and Bonds. Tagged Guyot because we were there. The weather was overcast without views heading up the Twins buy by the time we made it to Guyot the story was changing. We could make out some bonds and a little bit of sunshine. We decided to grab West Bond before setting up camp at the Guyot campsite. The weather was definately better at this time. We set up camp and went and took in Bond and the Bondcliffs, arriving back at Bond starving in time for the sunset. Great experience, everything I have been hoping the Bonds would be. Monday all we had to do was walk the 8.4 back to the truck. We were pleasantly surprised Monday to have views from the Twins after missing them the day before and sleeping through a thunderstorm Sunday night. All in all a great experience, thank you Erik for such a great hike! |
