| Water Crossing Notes: |
The first two crossings (right off the bat leaving Waterville Valley parking lot) were regular rock-hopping (easy and no snow). The third one was also snow free as I recall, and the last one (about 1 mile in) has a snow bridge but I don't know for how much longer.... |

| Comments: |
Trail is 100% still covered in snow (except for the early brook crossings as noted above), but the monorail is well-packed. I wore microspikes the whole time, which was perfect. No need for snowshoes, and some sections would be pretty slippery in bare boots. |
