From the parking lot, the trail climbs under the Snows Mountain chairlift. Halfway up, a sign marks the entry to the woods on the right. Make sure to follow the yellow blazes carefully as the trail passes intersections with other trails, which can be confusing. The true summit of Snows Mountain is trail-less, but there are views of Waterville Valley from the lookouts.
Descend past a great view of the village of Waterville Valley and on to the trail exit in the driveway of #76 on Snows Mountain Road. To return to the parking lot, walk down the paved road then turn right on the Boulder Path Road sidewalk past the tennis courts back to the parking lot.
