A beautiful hike of these peaks with a fellow Gridder. After crossing the bridge and taking the signed path"trail" snowshoes went on until end of Bondcliff trail then micros to complete the hike. Trails all well broken. A huge thanks to the hikers throughout the weekend that made a nice snowshoe track.FW Trail/Lend -A-Hand Trail could use some additional snow shoe love but travel was quick just the same.Twinway to Zealand in great shape. Trail became softer beyond to Guyot with a couple solid, epic drifts just dropping back into treeline before the tensite. After descending Mt Bond trail is bony in spots but snowshoes were definitely the right choice. We crossed paths with no others today until Lincoln Woods Trail and was nice chatting with a few of them. If you need these peaks for February its a great time to hike them!
