It's officially 3,997 feet, although to the best of my knowledge, the AMC 4,000 footer committee hasn't issued an edict just yet. That being said, Tecumseh is still a fine outing. The views are attenuated, but still, you get to see a lot. Our views were clipped by a bit of weather, but we still spied Washington, the Carters, and the Tripyramids. If it wasn't for the impending rain, we might have lingered a little, and seen how good the views really get up there. Forget what the detractors say: Tecumseh remains a gem.
