Mt. Israel 10/16/22

With sunny but mild weather predicted post peak foliage, it was time for Liliana and I to get out for another hike. Being a bit cool I thought we should hike something smaller from the NH 52 With a View list since she doesn't have as much good cold weather gear as I do yet. We picked Mt. Israel and ended up doing a loop up and over the mountain with a longer walk back to the truck since it was a nice day and we were both feeling good at the summit. The hike was nice, although the roadwalk before the end was a bit boring and hard on the feet. The hike was 9.68 miles total with 2,185 feet of elevation gain

  • Even though a lot of leaves have fallen, there is still plenty of green and some yellows on the trees
  • A neat little sidehill section of the trail
  • Liliana further up the trail before some stone stairs
  • Heading up the stairs
  • After crossing this small brook, the trail follows along it for a little while
  • The trail next to the brook
  • A bright yellow maple leaf on the ground
  • The trail as it turns right away from the brook
  • The trail goes under this bent/leaning tree. It has been leaning enough that the branches are going straight up looking for sun
  • Next to the leaning tree that the trail goes under there are multiple others just like it just to the side of the trail
  • In a section with many larger than normal trees, this cluster of 3 large oak trees stood out. All three are probably close to 2 feet in diameter each

  • A leaf falling in front of the camera while I try to take a picture of Liliana
