Summary
Please join me for this relatively short (2.1 miles, 4.2 RT) but steady climb (1700') to the summit of Mt Israel @ 2620'. Beautiful views south along the way of Lakes Squam and Winnipesaukee and, from the top, mountians to the west and north to Mt Chocorua. Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of water. We should be back at the vehicles by 3PM. Possibility of returning to my cottage on Ossipee Lake for a swim and dinner.
Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot
From Route 25 in Moutonboro, take Route 109N through Sandwich to Center Sandwich where it merges with Route 113W coming from the right. Continue straight ahead (don't bear left to follow Route 113), following the signs pointing to Sandwich Notch and Mead Base. After the pavement ends, drive another mile to a fork in the dirt road. Take the right, following the sign for MEAD CONSERVATION STATION (don't bear left for Sandwich Notch). Drive all the way in and turn right as directed by the NFS sign into the parking lot. Anyone wishing to carpool from Rtes 25E & 16 In Center Ossipee, please let me know and we'll make arrangements.

- Comment: This will be my first step up this summer toward climbing taller and taller mountains. (I presently have been climbing mountains only about half as high in my Northampton MA neighborhood.) My goal is to climb Mount Washington, Mount Katahdin, or both before the cold and snow set in. Presently, I plan to make the 3-hour drive from my house early Saturday morning.
