There was one spot 4 miles from the start that had a snow bridge w. sticks in the morning and by the afternoon was just sticks connecting the snow. On the return trip I did the sketchy sticks for laughs and Katie just walked through the stream. Included pictures of a few spots in the link.

Comments
Comments: Great day out there. Used light traction in the morning on the way in and partway up the Bondcliff trail. Partway up, we swapped for snowshoes and left them on until the summit of Bondcliff. Then we bare booted over about 2/3 the way up Bond where we popped them back on until West Bond and back. It was simple enough with only a few traction on/off’s. Definitely felt like spring out there, but there looks to be a good amount of snow left out on the trails. There were a few spots where it looked boots w/ or w/o light traction were sinking in deep. Trail photos/crossing photos/mountain photos are linked.
