"Nice day for a 4K. My friend needed this one so we did it together. What made it interesting for me was a different route. The first time I hiked it, we went up from Tripoli Road. This time it was the stair master from the ski area. Chilly at the top with some flurries. Steeper approach from the ski area. I’ll bet there were at least 2,000 steps in the hike.

"Pretty cold day in the mountains. About 10 degrees at the summit, but very sharp views despite cloudy conditions. About 15 deg in the parking lot. Snowshoes door to door. Trail in excellent, packed conditions." — Alohabuffy • Jan 19, 2024

"Began just before 9am from the Livermore Trailhead (South) parking lot. The 0.8 mile hike to the Mount Tecumseh trailhead took roughly 20 minutes. About halfway up the trail there was a view point that overlooked a ski trail. Because of the Canadian wildfire haze, you could barely see the Tripyramids and Sandwich Range in the background. Immediately after the view point the trail became steep stairs for almost the entire rest of the ascent. The trail leveled out on a ridge before one last steep ascent near the summit which I reached just before noon. The summit had a small clearing in the trees looking southeast, but because of the haze you could only just make out the ski trails of Waterville Valley. My descent took those ski trails straight down. At one point the dirt auto path gave way to a field of tall grass through which I rock-hopped to try to avoid picking up ticks. The descent was very quick (taking only 2 hours) and I arrived back at the Livermore Trailhead around 2:15pm." — JCalautti • Jul 1, 2023

"My Adventure Buddy Adam and I started Hiking Mt. Tecumseh Up the Waterville Valley Trailhead around 11am/11:30am - got a late start. We were almost Up the Mountain Closer to the Summit and Adam had a Panic Attack about there not being enough light/time to make it up to the Summit and Down Before Dark. And how he doesn't Night Hike because of an Injury he Got on the Appalachian Trail and his Vision. I definitely feel Confident, I could have made it to the Summit and Enjoyed some Night Hiking Down with my Light I had. But we Hiked Back Down and Unfortunately did not make it to the Summit... :( " — Rclara9 • May 28, 2023

"Cold day (negative temperatures), but lack of wind helped. Began at the Waterville Valley Ski Resort parking lot. Trail was pretty packed down, no snowshoes needed. We decided to use microspikes to get a little more traction. Gradual climb for 1.2 miles until you get to a lookout alongside the ski slope. Next was a steep mile to a short flat area before a small climb to the summit, where there were great views of the nearby ranges, especially of Mt. Washington in the background. A few chickadees joined us on the summit. Easy trek back down in the snow. Overall, climbed 2,360 ft in 3 hours over 4.85 miles. " — gregoryskiba • Feb 25, 2023

"Molly and I had a late start on this mountain. We headed up around 11:30 or so from the ski slopes. We slowly made our way up to the summit. Due to how late it was, we didn't stay long despite the beautiful day. I needed to use the restrooms, so I darted down the trail back to the parking lot. " — newenglandwarrior • Feb 12, 2023

"An Osceola and Tecumseh kind of day. I needed all 3 for my May Grid. Tripolii Rd was open and I headed up Osecola from that side. I made quick time and tagged the summit. Overcast day. I then headed over to East Osceola and tagged that summit. On the return, I went up the chimney. I also saw the butt end of a snowshoe hare before the Osceola summit. I quickly reached my car on the descent. For Tecumseh, I went up the back side. It is longer but more mellow. I got to use my silky saw for the first time and delimbed a blowdown on the ascent. I tagged the summit and came back down. " — newenglandwarrior • May 26, 2022

"After hiking up the Kinsmans in the morning, I drove over to hike Tecumseh next. There was a part in the skiing parking lot. Someone became the first Grid finisher over age 75. Hiked up Tecumseh and came back down. It took me awhile to get up the mountain since i was feeling it from the morning. Stopped at the Dam Brewhouse in Campton on the drive out to pick up a Brew and View. 5 miles" — newenglandwarrior • Jul 24, 2021

"Molly and I both needed Tecumseh. We came up the Tripolii Rd side and went over West Tecumseh before hitting the peak. On the way out, we were hit by a good rain storm. I closed out my June Grid today. 6.2 miles." — newenglandwarrior • Jun 19, 2021

"Not great weather, but ok. Around 30 deg., snowed all the way up. Howling wind at the summit, blowing ice pellets out of trees at you. Zero visibility at summit. Stopped snowing soon after we started descending. Super busy on the trail today. Saw close to 90 hikers. " — Alohabuffy • Jan 17, 2021
