Mount Tecumseh
Starting from the Waterville Valley Ski Area parking area in White Mountain National Forest, the route follows the Mount Tecumseh Trail into mixed mountain forest, staying close to the Tecumseh Brook corridor before crossing the brook and climbing away from the ski slopes.
The ascent becomes rockier and more enclosed among hardwoods and conifers, with occasional glimpses toward Waterville Valley, then reaches the Tecumseh–Sosman junction and the short summit loop around Mount Tecumseh.
On the return, Sosman Trail and the upper ridge area add lookout points toward the resort and surrounding White Mountains before the route drops back through the forest and brook valley to the trailhead.
