Although I've been to Mt. Tecumseh many times, this was the first time I'd hiked the Mount Tecumseh Trail FROM THE TRIPOLI ROAD TRAILHEAD.
I was favorably impressed with the route. The trail is well-maintained, and the treadway is only lightly worn and soft underfoot.
If I had to say anything bad about the Tripoli Road approach it would be this. There is a reverse elevation gain which sort of sucks. However, I timed it, and it took less than 15 minutes to slog up the steep slope that I'd descended on the outbound leg of my hike. So, in the grand scheme of things, that's not much to complain about!
There were no problems with water crossings, and there were no blowdowns.
My BLOG (link below) has some photos.
