The pond on the Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown is always gorgeous, no matter what time of the year. This view was so pretty with still a bit of ice on top of the water.
It’s always been a favorite hike for me. What about you?

“The Beech Forest, located in Provincetown, offers a glimpse of the original arboreal landscape of Cape Cod. When the Mayflower landed in the early seventeenth century, much of the Cape was covered in pine-oak forests and groves of hickory, red maple, birch and beech trees. Over the next two hundred years, settlers cleared nearly all of these forests, NPS officials said. Due to the Beech Forest’s low-lying position, it was spared from logging, making it the sole remnant of beech forest on the Cape.”
