The map below shows how to get to the summit of Jennings Peak as well as Sandwich Dome and Noon Peak.

From the Sandwich Mountain Trail / Drakes Brook Trail Trailhead parking area on route 49, hike up the Sandwich Mountain Trail for 2.8 miles (going over Noon Peak). You will arrive at a junction with the Drakes Brook Trail on the left. If you hike on for a few more feet, you will come to a small junction with a spur trail on the right leading up to Jennings Peak. The spur trail leading to the summit is 0.2 miles up. After you enjoy wonderful views on the summit, you can choose to head over to Sandwich Mountain or head back to the parking lot.

To hike to Sandwich Dome, continue along the Sandwich Mountain Trail for 1.1 miles (passing a junction with the Smarts Brook Trail at 0.5 miles) until you reach the summit of Sandwich Mountain.

To head back down to the parking lot retrace your steps for the last 1.1 miles on the Sandwich Mountain Trail until you come to the junction with the Drakes Brook Trail. Take the Drakes Brook Trail on the right for 3.2 miles until you reach the parking lot (you will pass a junction after 2.8 miles with Fletcher's Cascade Trail.)
