"Flags on the 48s day. Lots of people on the the trail from Tripoli Rd heading up the North Tecumseh trail. Very crowded summit, but the weather was perfect for a hike. First time up Tecumseh via the North trail." — Alohabuffy • Sep 12, 2020

"Just getting around to logging some of our climbs. This one was the last of a 3 day weekend in the area and was a nice quick run up the mountain before heading home. We chose the Tripoli RD TH - a little longer but we heard it was a great trail ... and it was. Its a nice hike up that is steep in a few places and gentle in others - with a few col drops in between. Quick little hike." — deb-and-rob • Jun 23, 2019

"It has been awhile since I combined both of these hikes into a day. But I needed them for my Grid and didn't have much time. This was my last hike in October in NH. Tecumseh was quick. Same with the Osceola's. Didn't feel to bad after hiking the Osceola's. Picked up 3 peaks today. " — newenglandwarrior • Oct 5, 2018

"Solo. 6/48. With a promise of thunderstorms in the forecast, I decided on this last minute so I wouldn’t be too exposed to slides or difficult scrambles, or exposed on a summit. Kim left this morning, so I got up early & headed out with a hope of beating possible crowds as well as beating possible awful weather. I started on trail around 0815 with a few other cars in the lot & bright sunshine with moderate temperatures. This hike was beautiful! Very well cared for short and somewhat steep trail with a lot of lovely natural stone steps. A LOT of them! I made good time and passed a few folks on the way up. At the summit there was one other solo woman and we talked about hiking while a curious and clearly hand-fed small red squirrel scurried around us, begging. I offered him some of my summit beer but he didn’t seem interested, lol. After a little while more folks started showing up, the highlight being two exhausted looking young men who were doing an unsupported trek of all 48 Whites in a week. One of them was wearing a flamingo print button up & introduced himself as Andrew Soars, “like the eagle, not the thing you gotta put cream on, people don’t shake your hand if they think it’s..." — kellieirene • Aug 26, 2018

"I already had Tecumseh for Feb. This hike was about meeting people. Or a person in this case. Met up with Juel and hiked up Tecumseh. She wanted to start early. At 6:30am. We made quick work of it, finishing up before 9 am. " — newenglandwarrior • Feb 27, 2018

"We hiked up the Tecumseh Trail from parking lot #1. From the peak we took the Sosman Trail to the ski slopes. Descended the slopes via the gravel road for a bit then came down the Easier Way Down and crossed over to the lighter slopes back to the parking lot. " — Amero4k • Oct 22, 2017

"Amazing afternoon hike on Tecumseh....quite a bit of clouds, with some snow here and there and occasionally sunshine. The trail was pretty well packed with 3-4 inches of fresh snow. We switched to snow shoes early on to keep the trail well packed and due to sticky snow. " — shay-shay • Jan 19, 2017

"I took Kali with me on this one. We left the trail head at 11:30 am. It was a beautiful day, but a bit warmer than I expected. The beginning of the trail was fairly easy with some ups and downs and flats, then after the first overlook, it went to moderate for what seemed like a long time. The woods were beautiful though, and that made it worth the many long "staircases". We stayed on the Mt. Tecumseh Trail at the first split with the Sosman Trail. At the second split of the trail, I chose the left trail up with the blue blaze and then the other one down, with the yellow, which I think must have been Mt. Tecumseh Trail. Once we neared the summit, on the left trail, there were some large rocks and very interesting footing through a steep section. It was cool looking and I actually enjoyed it even though I was tired. I had expected to find almost no views at the summit from what I had heard and read about it, but I was pleasantly surprised to find some pretty nice views from the little ledges by the cairn. We stopped and had lunch on those ledges and snapped a couple of pictures. We met several other hikers, including one guy with a dog. All in all, it was a fun hike and #44 for ..." — Hufflepuff • Sep 20, 2016

"Day after the Hancocks, and a bit muggier. We gleaned some information and stories from a volunteer trail caretaker. He was busy removing downed trees from the path and adding another flight to the rock "stairmaster" that blankets much of the upper half of the trail. Warning: due to the twists of the trail and the sparseness of the foliage, there aren't many private places to call a restroom..." — gooner • Aug 20, 2016

"Hiked Waumbek and Hale the day before. Had some pain in my foot, but set out nonetheless. About .5 miles in, I stepped and felt pain and heard/felt a snap in my foot. I had fractured two metatarsal bones, resulting in a one-legged hop back to the car and subsequent drive to the hospital to confirm the injury. UGH!" — ne4kclimber • Aug 10, 2016
