This section of the AT runs a ridge to a perched, glacier formed pool, Sunfish Pond. The water is clear and acidic from the decaying leaves so there are not many fish. There were absolutely huge frogs though and a number of snakes who seemed to have a knack for using the very rocks I wanted to stand on. No mishaps but a couple quick reverses for me.
A very young fawn was running circles around its mom. To both his and our surprise he popped out right onto the trail. He froze then watched curiously for a bit before taking off for mom. They watched us from a nice safe distance as we went on down the trail. There were quite a few more deer throughout the day but he was the cutest.
