Good hike. Plenty of parking and of course well maintained. Busy trail even in winter.
It is a fun ~4k footer hike. Well marked trails and several places to walk out of the cover and get the views from the ski slopes.nCame down the ski slopes and my knees were angry at me the next day. I'd say a combo of some trail and some ski slope while coming down is a good way to balance it.
Plenty of parking to hike the Tecumseh trail to the summit of Mt Tecumseh. It's also good to hike the Sosman Trail (side trail) over to the top of the Waterville Valley ski area cuz the views are the best there.
Parking is easy. Trail is well marked. It doesn't break treeline but it's a beautiful view from the top.
A reasonable hike (2.5 miles to the summit) if you have half a day to spare. Just know that there are two entrances to the same trail that are 5.6 miles apart. The other entrance is from Tripoli road, but that trail takes 3.1 miles to get to the summit. We rushed to get to the top and it took us around an hour and 45 minutes. I would set aside around 4-5 hours depending on the time you want to stay at the the top. You will not see 360° views from the top. You get a great view but there are trees covering the sides of the mountain top.
