West Bond

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.”

Trail: Hale Brook Trail, Lend-A-Hand Trail, Twinway, Zealand Spur, Bondcliff Trail, West Bond Spur

Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Snow/Ice - Monorail (Stable), Mud - Significant, Snow/Ice - Monorail (Unstable)

“Only notable snow/ice was on final ascent to Guyot but will be gone soon and was navigable without spikes. Only notable deep mud was on Lend a Hand trail. Typical Spring conditions.”

Trail: Zealand Trail, Twinway, Zealand Spur, Bondcliff Trail, West Bond Spur, Lincoln Woods Trail

Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Snow/Ice - Small Patches

“Just a few short sporadic sections of snow climbing out of the Zealand/Guyot Col on the Twinway before treeline, no issue at all, and will be gone in a few days. Summer conditions from here on out. All trails are in decent shape, some mud and standing water, and a couple of stepover blowdowns along the route, but nothing that stuck out that I can remember. Great day for a Z-Bonds Traverse, with a nice breeze and cool but comfortable temps above treeline and pleasant down low.”
