Mt. Israel
Sandwich, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Wentworth Trail
Route: Wentworth Trail
The ascent to the ridge was snow free and dry. Once on the ridge, there were a few tiny patches of snow and mud. It looks like someone brushed out the seldom used herd path to the northeast ledges (which have the best views in my opinion, especially from a ledge that juts out and gives a view of the Belknaps).
Bellwort, trout lily, and trillium in bloom in the lower elevations.
