3 MOACers Gerry, Jerry and Kathy hiked a total of 24.4 miles with a total elevation gain of 5800 feet over Bondcliff (4,265'), Mt. Bond (4,698'), West Bond, (4540'), Mt. Guyot (4580'), Zealand Mtn. (4,260), and Mt. Hale (4054'). The day started with several inches of new snow, and the snow continued to fall as they started out on the trail at 4:30am. The new snow meant breaking trail for several miles as there were not many people out that day. As the day went on there was blue sky and bright sunshine giving them great views on the Bonds.
They finished in the dark at 7:30pm coming out on Zealand Rd. with a sky filled with stars and planets Jupiter, Venus and Mars in sight. A perfect end to a perfect day.
