Mount Tecumseh

Mount Tecumseh is a summit in the Sandwich Range of the White Mountains with an elevation of approximately 4,000 feet (1,220 meters). The route to the top winds through thick forest with numerous switchbacks and rock steps along the way.

The mountain was named after Tecumseh, a Shawnee leader who fought for Native American rights in the early 1800s. This name honors an important figure in American Indigenous history.

The mountain is named after Tecumseh, a Shawnee leader, and today draws hikers who seek to complete a regional challenge of climbing the highest peaks in the area.

The trailhead is located at the Waterville Valley Ski Area parking lot, where information about the route is available. The terrain is accessible year-round but requires extra caution and sturdy footwear during snowy or wet conditions.

Recent surveys suggest the mountain's actual elevation may be slightly lower than the historically recorded measurement. This discrepancy has sparked debate among local hikers and club members about whether it still qualifies as a major peak.
