Mountain Pond located at 1,509 feet in Chatham is the largest undeveloped pond in the White Mountains. This Tuesday, I went there for a last mountain stroll before the world turned white the next day.

The 2.7-mile loop around the pond is a flat rocky hike with great views, located in a quiet corner of the mountains. Natural sounds predominate such as the wind through the trees, the quiet lapping of water on the shore, and the calls of loons. On Tuesday, the loons had already left, deepening the silence of late November.
