We recently said we wouldn't hike this one for a while, but this day was our personal Thanksgiving, and both girls very much wanted to hike Tecumseh again. We feel it's a second home at this point, lol.
We got to the trail around 7:30 and started up the familiar path.
The viewpoint always provides a nice break before the steep bits.
Starting up the steeps. A light dusting covered the trail, but there was never a need to don the microspikes.
On the ridge, where the trail flattens for a short while...
We walked right by the sign pointing to the summit...we were busy talking, and I didn't realize we missed our normal way up until the trail dipped down a bit. We continued anyway, since this bit of trail also loops up to the summit.
Summit!
Views! That's Mt. Washington, snow-covered, way in the background on the left.
The girls staying out of the wind...
Summit cairn...
We celebrated the hike with some eggnog, then we descended and ate a huge Thanksgiving meal.
Have a wonderful holiday, everyone! See you on the trails (after Thanksgiving).
