ZBonds north to south is in great shape but that will probably change after the storm. Bare booted all the way to the hut and crashed there Friday night. It was very, very cold but the company was good and caretaker Morgan was a great host.
Wore spikes from the hut to a mile below Bondcliff. The trails are mostly crunchy snow and rock, but a few sections from Zeacliff to Bond have notable post holes I had to watch out for. Snowshoes would be a wise choice to even them out.
Lincoln Woods is in very good shape considering the rain storm a few weeks back. |
