From Mt Bond on the Bondcliff Trail

    Bondcliff - 4265'

    The sharp cliffs on the west side of Bondcliff give the mountain its name, as well as excellent views of the White Mountains. There used to be a campsite, called Camp 16 at the intersection of the Wilderness trail and the Bondcliff trail, but it is now closed due to overuse and being inside the Pemigewasset Wilderness. The three Bonds are inside the Wilderness Area. The Guyot Campsite is located just north of Mt Bond, outside the Wilderness Area.
