Zealand and the Bonds via: Zealand trail, Twinway and the Bondcliff trail.
Date of hike:6/12/09-6/14/09
Comments: Several easy brook crossings on the Zealand trail. Twinway was wet and muddy but that was to be expected with all the rain we just had. Stopped at Zealand for #45 no views here. Bondcliff trail was in good condition. Set up tents at Guyot campsite then headed up to West Bond #46 for a short night hike, it was windy and chilly but nice to have the peak all to ourselves. On Saturday we headed up to Bond #47 to wait for some friends and what a day we had up there. The weather was unbelievable and the views were even better. When our friends showed up we headed over to Bondcliff #48
and just hung out, took pics and just enjoyed the great views. On Sunday we packed up early and headed out in the rain. This was my first backpacking trip in the mountains but definetly not my last. What a great time it was.
