 | Comments: |
Lend a hand to Hale is BAD, but hale brook was great. Deep bogs and the snow covers it so you won’t know what you’re stepping on. For the rest of the ZBond traverse. Snowshoes came on and off, glad I had them. Anything above treeline is completely bare, but deep snow and elevated monorails exist in the shade. The way down Bondcliff was snow covered until almost the Pemi River 5 miles before Lincoln Woods. |
