The trail down, while a bit rough in spots, wasn't too bad, and it got its business done quickly and efficiently. Soon we were down at the eastern trailhead of the Tecumseh trail, at the Ski area parking lot. We still had a little ways to walk from here to the Livermore trailhead, and we took advantage of a cross-country ski run to hike more or less directly back to the Livermore trailhead.
The trail hiking is finished!
We arrived back at almost exactly 4pm, just over ten hours after having set out. Pretty decent, considering. Almost 26 km in just over ten hours, and with nearly 5000 feet of ascent and descent to boot! We were lucky to have such a nice day in late November, and for the trails to be free of snow and ice.
