Trail Conditions: Hancock Notch Trail in good shape. Water crossings all low on the Cedar Brook Trail, bypass around water crossings during high water branches to the right at first brook crossing. Trail in rough shape between first and third crossings, mud and erosion. Both links of the Hancock Loop Trail are steep with bad footing, along the ridge is better footing and in good shpae with two mud bogs.
