The map below shows how to get to the summit of Sandwich Mountain as well as Jennings Peak 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. You can choose to hike up this 0.2 mile section to enjoy wonderful views on the peak or avoid it.

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.
