About Mount Tecumseh
Mount Tecumseh is the smallest of the official New Hampshire 4000 footers, and is an easy hike. The mountain is a nice place to introduce your skeptical friends and family members to the high peaks of New Hampshire and is a fairly easy hike from either approach. The eastern approach is hardly rustic; Waterville Valley is a developed ski area, with its facilities on Mount Tecumseh. However, the approach from Tripoli Road is unfettered by civilization.

The views from the summit are limited, but peek-a-boo views give glimpses of the Tripyramids, Osceola, the Franconia Range with Mt. Lafayette, Moosilauke, and the Kinsmans, as well as the lesser peaks in the area. As the hike is a short one; ambitious peak baggers can add Mt. Tecumseh to a day of climbing the Osceolas or the Tripyramids.

Mount Tecumseh is named for the great Shawnee native American leader, who tried to unite Native American tribes in the early 1800s to resist the colonialists. Tecumseh fought alongside the British during the War of 1812, successfully raiding in Ontario and Michigan. He was killed in the Battle of the Thames, near Thamesville, Ontario, on October 5, 1813.
