Summary

This is an 8.3 mile mostly loop hike that includes Noon, Jennings, and Sandwich Dome. We will ascend the Sandwich Mountain Trail to Noon Peak (2995), then to Jennings Peak (3492) then continue out to Sandwich Dome (3992). Noon and Jennings have clear views, I believe that Sandwich is a wooded summit but has a lookout spot. We then return from Sandwich back to Jennings, and descend Drakes Brook Trail to make it a loop.

Total elevation: 2742

Please come prepared, it's trending towards winter up in the Whites! I will keep an eye on the weather leading up to the hike to see if we need microspikes. Please pack for fall and winter conditions. Recommended gear: Hiking boots/shoes with good traction, rain/wind gear, warm layers, headlamp, hat, mittens, balaclava/scarf/face mask, hand warmers. Carry at least 2 liters of water, lunch and snacks.

We will meet at Sandwich Mountain Trailhead. Please arrive by 8:45am and we will start hiking at 9am.
