Thank you!<br /><br />Regarding your question about the photo that shows Sunset Pond, it is not a zoomed image, and yes it is a small pond. Actually, Sunset Pond is at the end of a chain of three small ponds on the property of Borestone Mountain Audubon Sanctuary. The other two ponds leading up to Sunset Pond are named Midday Pond and Sunrise Pond. Just to give you an idea of how small the three ponds are, it is less than a mile from the tip of Sunset Pond to the tip of Sunrise Pond.<br /><br />As you say, Borestone is a “very cool location”! And apparently a lot of people agree with that assessment. I arrived at the trailhead early in the morning and was only the second car there. However, when I arrived back at the trailhead, the rather large parking lot was completely filled, and “overflow” hikers were parked on the shoulder of the road.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-3170907252703919712015-06-04T09:49:18.829-04:002015-06-04T09:49:18.829-04:00Wonderful photos, John - I love the one of Sunset ...Wonderful photos, John - I love the one of Sunset Pond on the peak. Is that a zoomed in image or is it a smaller pond. Looks like there is some ledgey, slidey cliffs to the left of it. Very cool location.<br /><br />KarlKarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872637235573785618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-44287491325917913282015-06-03T10:13:44.398-04:002015-06-03T10:13:44.398-04:00Thanks for your comments, Steve!

Sunset Pond looks like a unique spot beneath those cliffs and talus slopes. There are some real gems up there!<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.com
