Nancy Pond in New Hampshire. David Hunt took this photo during a 3-1/2-mile hike into the White Mountain National Forest.
"No tourists, no garbage, no noise pollution, the hike in is not for the faint of heart. We camped out here for a weekend this summer, and quickly realized that when you are 3,000 feet high and three and a half miles into the forest at night you are indeed part of the food chain. We did survive and truly had a phenomenal time."
