Luke at Bondcliff
Like the ruin of some ancient fortress, Bondcliff rises from the heart of the Pemigewasset Wilderness in New Hampshire.

The view from the top of the cliffs (4,265 ft.) is awesome: 360 degrees of wild mountains. It was nine miles in to Bondcliff, about 2,500 vertical feet. It was two more miles to Guyot campsite, over the 4,698 foot summit of Mt. Bond.
We were beat.
Day two, we scrapped our plans for Franconia Ridge and hiked fourteen miles out along Franconia Brook instead. It was a nice time with my son.

(Thanks to Dave at Hike the Whites for the inspiration to hike to the cliffs.)
