"So, I started my bonds traverse at 5:45am from Lincoln Woods with the plan to hike Bondcliff, Mount Bond, and West Bond. I had hiked the first portion of this before when I hiked Owl's Head and it was as boring as I remember it to be. At the junction I took the Bondcliff trail which turned out to be another 1.8 miles of boring flat old logging roads. After that the trail takes a sharp left and you start the long steady ascent up to Bondcliff. The actual ascent is pretty gradual with a good amount of flat sections to break it up. By the time I reached the summit I have already hiked almost 9 mi" - LGH-Tom, Aug 23, 2017

"Hiked in the Zealand trail to hut then, continued to Zeacliff and Mount Zealand. From there hiked over Mount Guyot to the campsite for the night. Enjoyed the sunset on West Bond that night and next morning hiked out over Mount Bond and Boncliff to Lincoln woods." - blackwolf_03278, Jul 23, 2017

"Did the Bonds out and back from Zealand, long day (12 hours +) and about 20 miles. Actually good weather but it was hot coming back up to Bond from Bondcliff. Bondcliff didn't disappoint, fabulous views as always. Trails not as full as we thought they'd be. Forgot how rough Zealand trail was from the Zealand summit to Guyot." - Alohabuffy, Jul 22, 2017

"Headed out with a great group of hiking friends to finish my NH48 patch. Beautiful day....sunshine, a light breeze and lots of laughs. Couldnt have picked a better day to finish!" - shay-shay, Jun 10, 2017

"Bond was our last peak of the day. The couple that was with us finished there NH48 together. A great peak to finish on. Bondcliff was clear of snow. A nice change of pace. We then hiked back to Galehead Hut from here. The snow was softening between Guyot and South Twin but we didn't posthole. Glad we carried these snowshoes for no reason. We also spotted a pine martin on the South Twin summit. Really cool." - newenglandwarrior, May 20, 2017
