    Great White Adventure - Waterville Valley

    Thanks MadRiver, Thanks for the heads-up on the WMNF parking. I always purchase enough passes for each vehicle in our group, but figuring out where they apply is sketchy so we just have them on the car dash at any trail head we use. I appreciate your assistance.
