Awesom day out in the Bonds! Lincoln Woods until Wilderness boundary is mostly bare ground, with some mud. Once past the Wilderness Boundary to Boncliff Trail it is bare ground, wet, mud spots, some ground cover snow. Bondcliff Trail until last crossing is bare ground with ground cover snow. Past last crossing until treeline the snow is lingering with a mini monrail with ankle-busting chewed up snow, if you have a tendency to roll your ankles be carful through here.
Above treeline on Boncliff it is mostly bare ground. From Mount Bond to West Bond there is an annoying monorail, with 'hidden' week old postholes, you have to use your balance to stay on top but there are some minor to major postholes in places, it was tricky but fun. |
