| Comments: |
A great first-day-of winter hike in the Bonds! Lincoln Woods Trail is packed and ski or bare-bootable. Wilderness Trail is packed snow, and snowshoes or skis worked fine. Snowshoes were needed on the Bondcliff Trail. The ridge between Bondcliff and Bond had a section with dry, bare rock interspersed with snowy patches. We left our snowshoes on for this. Thanks to Ed for leading a great hike, and Al, Bill, Vinny, and Rob for a great day. |
