Time Guesstimate-Guyot

[Snowshooz]

Hi All,

Just posting this out there...trying to estimate time...average speed hikers..not too slow , not too fast...
Have done the Bonds before, but from the South Twin side.
We are planning to stay at Guyot tentsite...If we go the Wilderness trail...Bondcliff Trail etc... Approx How long from the Kanc side/Lincoln Woods to Guyot?
If we go from the Zealand side....how long?
I know the elev and distance varies etc...Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks!

If my old notes are accurate, book time says just under 8 hours to go over Bonds from LW & get to Guyot. (this may include doing West Bond 1st. - Since much of this is flat I find people do better than book)

From Zealand Road, it should be under 6 hours while coiming over Twins it would be roughly 6 1/2 hours.

Last year when I was in much better shape I made Bond in less than five hours. As usual everyones time varies & the pack size will weigh in on your speed.

Last weekend, it took a friend and I, 7 hours from LW to Guyot (with full packs). I'd say we were pretty average speed/breaks, etc.

Have fun! Such a beautiful area!
