 | Comments: |
I decided to hike 'the other side' of the Mount Tecumseh Trail from Tripoli Road. Sure: for an out-n-back it's a bit longer than from the ski area and you have to climb the West Peak twice which adds a bit more elevation. However I found this approach very enjoyable and more interesting than the other side of the trail.
Not too much in terms of views today from either peak. There were close to 20 others at the summit when I left with more coming in. On the flip side I had the West Peak all to myself on both passes and got to throw my feet in the brook on the way out. Very nice! |
