From the summit of Bond, we headed down the trail, went over a small rise, and then stopped at the trail juncture for the West Bond spur. We dropped our packs and continued towards West Bond on the little out and back. This section dips down considerably and then climbs to a more pointed peak at the end. West Bond was probably the star of the day for us, much because the sun came out just when we got to the summit. Since West Bond juts out into the center of the Pemigewasset Wilderness, we got gorgeous 360 degree views and could trace exactly where we had already walked for the day – one of our favorite things to do in the mountains.
West Bond marked the halfway point. At 11 miles in, we knew that we only had 2 more miles of above treeline time and then 9 miles of under treeline time to get back.
