For me, hiking Mount Tire'm on December 29th, 2010 was a big milestone; I had made plans to hike 100 mountains over the course of the year, and on December 29th I was at #98. So I started the day by hiking Singepole, and then drove to Waterford to hike Tire'm.
Since it was December, I did the hike on snowshoes. The trail is an excellent workout in the winter time; it's steep enough to really get your heart pumping, but not generally slick or dangerous.
The trail is very well marked, and leads steeply up through the woods to the summit.
View of Pleasant Mountain
Strictly speaking, the scenic vista is not at the summit; you can continue on along a trail, but I'm not sure if it leads anywhere. I followed it for awhile, and found a spot where it appeared as though someone had a camp site.
There aren't a lot of views from the top; you have one opening in the trees on some rock ledges where you can look out to Pleasant Mountain.
Here's me (more...)
