| Comments: |
A quick morning hike to Tecumseh for two reasons: I'd never done the Tripoli Road approach, and I hadn't been on the peak since before its enhanced view was put in. Passed a group of four on my way up, and had the summit to myself for about 10 minutes, in the chill and the wind, before they came along. Passed a good 30 people on my way back down, I'm sure it was a chilly Flags on the 48 for all of them. Most 4k trailheads on my drive back were swamped. |
