Got off to a late start, didn't leave home til 9:30...so was thinking I'd do Mt Tecumsah. Driving north started figuring and figured I could do the Tri's but wouldn't finish before dark! However, the Livermore Rd/Trail would be a good place to try my headlamp for the 1st time!
Arriving @ the livermore trailhead @ noon(48 & sunny) I got an envolope and deposited $3 to park...lots of vehicles/xc skiers!
Headed out on the groomed trail @ 12:28pm. In 40 minutes I was @ the end of the groomed xc ski section and by the South Tri trail after 50 minutes/2.6 miles. 22 minutes later went by jct w/North Tri trail @ sharp left turn on the road, the sign post was there but no sign. Turned onto the Scaur Ridge Trail after 1:17/3.8 miles. As I headed up could see the North slide very well and was glad I hadn't gone that way! Turned right onto the Pine Bent Brook Trail after 2:03/5.0 miles. As I neared the top the trail got steeper for a short ways then onto the Tri Loop Trail just before reaching the North summit in 2:40 for the 5.8 mile climb
Stayed for 10 minutes refueling, resting and taking in the few views from the small wooded summit.
Took 24 minutes to reach Middle Tri, where there were much better views Ate some more and headed back after a 14 minute break.
Stopped for 3 minutes then headed down off North Tri @ 4:23pm. Without rushing took 44 minutes to get to Livermore Rd/Tr.
Got to beginning of groomed section @ 5:38pm, where I got the headlamp out in case it would be needed. Ended up using it for the last 5 minutes!...and it worked fine Arrived @ the trailhead @ 6:24pm. Had taken 5 hours 56 minutes for the 13.2 mile roundtrip, which was much quicker than I had thought
Tre trail was packed out and bare bootable the whole way. I'd worn my small snowshoes, which loved carrying xtra snow on the bottoms affording a much better workout There were no water crossings. After the 1st 40 minutes I saw no one the rest of the way. This weather is waaay to warm for me!...but the fine views were reeeaaallly great!
