Comments
Comments: We did a 2 night backpacking of Zealand-Bond Traverse.

Zealand Rd and Zealand trail well packed. Can be barefooted.
Path from hut to Zeacliff is well packed as well - microspikes will be helpful. The trail from Zeacliff to Guyot could also be done in spikes but having snowshoes would be helpful also.
Open areas of Mt Guyot up until Guyot tent site junction has lot of unpacked powder - we were able to get passed it just in spikes and we potholed a couple of times.

Seems no one has used guyot tent site this winter. The trail was untouched. We camped in a group platform.

The trail from West Bond junction all the way until lincoln woods parking lot is very well packed and we just used spikes.

Water is running in many of the streams and is not completely covered in snow bridges
