Hike of Walden Pond & Gates PondConcord & Berlin, MANovember 4th, 2012 |
Soon we arrive at the actual site of Thoreau's "Walden" cabin where he lived in solitude for two years. Peter, Gianna, Cara, and Charise get transcendental vibes from standing in the very spot. |

From the cabin site, we hike back down to the pond and followed its shoreline path, enjoying many nice views along the way. |
Despite being November, there was still enough fall foliage to add vibrancy to the pond. |
We're not sure if Thoreau ever skipped stones across Walden Pond, but decided to give it a try. |
Our whole group at the conclusion of our esteemed hike. |
To round out our trip, we hiked the 2.5 mile loop around Gates Pond in Berlin on the way home. It was a nice change from Walden; more secluded, less touristy, and not nearly as famous. But in the setting sun, it was beautiful in it's own right. |
