Mount Israel (2,636 feet) lies south of the Sandwich range and is easily accessible from both the west and east sides of the mountains. For those in Tamworth or Sandwich it is the go to mountain for some nearby good exercise. The 4.2-mile round trip to the summit on the Wentworth Trail offers plenty of cardio for a half day hike.

I needed the cleansing effect of that on Wednesday this week, and got a hike in before Thursday’s rain.
