Hiking the trail
edit
In terms of hills, the Tecumseh Trail is often considered a gentler version and training ground of the Knobstone Trail, a 52-mile one-way path that is further south in Indiana, near the city of Salem. While the Tecumseh's path does consist of many large hills, ascents are not typically as steep, long, or frequent as those of the Knobstone Trail.
The logistics of backpacking the Tecumseh can sometimes have more challenges. While the Tecumseh Trail tends to offer many opportunities for backcountry (non-potable) water sources, it often has less parking or allowable camping areas than the Knobstone Trail. This can impact the number of miles necessary to hike in a day, and it is for this reason that all trips should be carefully planned ahead of time.
