Pondicherry NWR

Filed under: Autumn,Landscapes,the White Mountains — Tags: , — Frank @ 11:30 PM

Yesterday, we (Joan, her cousin Margie and I) took a drive to the Pondicherry NWR in Jefferson, NH.

I can report that the foliage in the White Mountains is just about at its peak for this year.

The two ponds that make the centerpiece of Pondicherry are an easy hike from the road. The route is mainly along an old rail bed.  Cherry Pond ((the larger of the two) offers spectacular views of the Presidential Range*. Little Cherry Pond is also worth the extra walk as it is a very different habitat than Cherry Pond.**

This was our first visit to Pondicherry and I am certain that it is not our last; highly recommended.

Here is the crop of photos, all but the last one made at Cherry Pond. The last one was made from a pull off on Bear Notch Road in Bartlett on the way home.

*From Cherry Pond (looking south east), the peaks of the Presidential Range are Madison, Adams, Jefferson and Washington (left to right, or north to south).

**The light was not very good during the time we spent at Little Cherry Pond, so I do not have any photos from there that are worth showing.
