Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable
“Trails are in great condition for the crush of pre-LW closure hikers over the next few days. Between Zealand and Guyot was some of the last bits of snow still hanging around before Winter completely lets us out of her grasp (its 3x tiny areas each about the size of dinner plates). If you'll be part of the pre-LW closure hikers this weekend, please pack out your trash (see L&F notes above). Traffic will probably get much lighter starting Monday, so there won't be as many hikers to do the normal trail-sweeps and grabbing all the little bits of trash here and there Happy Hiking!”
Trail: Lincoln Woods Trail, Bondcliff Trail, West Bond Spur
Conditions: Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant
“Arrived right at 6 am, lots of people around, lot maybe half full but apparently all those people were not headed directly to the Bonds as I was alone on the trail until after summit. Water crossings were easy but several muddy spots along the trail. Zero snow or ice. And no bugs until I got back to Lincoln Woods at the end of the day. No bear issues and no signs of that trouble maker.”
