Trip Report:
With the exception of the first night which was rainy cold and unpleaseant every other day and night was wounderful. Spectacular views especially in the Bonds. Alot of walking, very possible to complete in two days. Difficult to complete in one. We spaced it out so that it would remain pleaseant and we could take our time. We did approximately 4 miles the first night, did not get on the trail until 4:30 pm and stopped for dinner at Zeeland shelter. 8 miles completed on the second day all five peaks Zeeland, Guiot, West Bond, Bond and Bond Cliff. Sunday walked out on Wilderness trail arrived back at car around 11 am. Some steep ascents and descents. Well wourth the effort and exertion if you can handle roughly 18 miles in 48 hours.
