Blazed the Mt. Tecumseh trail along the ridge and to the summit (right hand loop) - along with earlier brushing, this side should now be a viable winter option. Chopped out some widowmakers. Did some more brushing. Installed a new rock waterbar on the upper steeps prior to the ridge. |

| Comments: |
Hiked up the gravel access road (far left of the ski area when looking uphill) - actually quite a nice walk with some interesting views. Hiked up High Country to Sosman, then up to summit, then dropped down the Tecumseh Trail, then took one of the upper skier paths to the ski trails for the descent. Trails were generally dry and in good shape. Popular peak today. |
