We had lunch at Jordan Pond House the day before, but we didnât have enough time to do the full trail and catch a good sunset, so we decided to skip. And I couldnât be happier that we did. Saving this hike for early in the morning got us a prime parking spot and the trail pretty much all to ourselves. We started the path going to the left and I thought it was much better route than if we had decided to go the other way. It was pretty overcast when we started the morning, but as the morning moved on, the weather lightened up and we got some pretty awesome lighting. This is a very easy walk around the pond, there arenât many inclines, if any at all, and is a walking trail for just about anyone.
 Note: Always check trail status and weather conditions before visiting
The parking lot fills up very quickly and it’s not very large, so you’ll want to get to this hike first thing in the morning before the lot is full. It’s especially tough (if not impossible) to find a parking space around lunch or in the afternoon unless you are extremely lucky and find someone leaving at the exact moment you’re driving by.
Excellent food with an incredible view. Don’t forget to get their famous popovers!
