A narrow log and plank bridge with one left railing is harshly shadowed by afternoon sun. It crosses a reflective brown stream that goes from left to right between high banks. Trees and mountains complete the background.

Lost Pond Trail - The Bridge Near Pinkham

This bridge is the one closest to Pinkham Notch and is just a short walk from the road. It smells somewhat of the weather resistant pitch used to protect it. The stream is sourced by Lost Pond, which, like Marsh Pond in Connecticut, is a catch basin for water from the hills to its east.

A vast area of forest with millions of green trees, scratched by a road, and, above that, the clearing for Lost Pond.

Lost Pond Trail - View From Huntington Ravine Trail

This view of Lost Pond, taken from the intersection of the Alpine Garden Trail and the Huntington Ravine Trail, shows the pond as a mere scratch in the woods. A yellow arrow indicates the south end of the pond - the large bright spot below the arrow at the edge of the pond is the boulder from which we observed a moose feeding in the water, and a great blue heron. To its right is the boulder maze, and to the left is a large platform-like rock from which one can look across the pond.

This image was taken from 2.75 miles away and 3353 feet above. The location is indicated in a photo of Huntington Ravine seen from Lost Pond.
