Mt. Tecumseh stands at 4,003 feet tall, and is the shortest mountain among the 4,000 footers! Located in Grafton County, with the trail head located at the Waterville Valley ski area, provides plenty of parking. Many sections of the trail composed of rock stairs, but was well marked and maintained.

Cannon Mt. stands at 4,081 feet tall, located in the Franconia Notch area along Route 93. I completed this hike as a sunrise hike, heading into the mountains at about 4 A.M. to give plenty of time to see the sunrise! I took Hi-Cannon Trail, which is part of the Terrifying 25 (T25) to the summit, the part that makes Hi-Cannon trail part of the T25 is the ladder about half way up the assent, with an immediate side shimmy on rock slab, otherwise the trail was great and had no issues.
