Jennings Peak and Sandwich Mountain Trail Loop track
Parking lot had plenty of spaces. It rained the night so there were plenty of slippery rocks on the hike. Drakes Brook was running full and required a crossing at the beginning and end of the loop. Went further downstream to do the first crossing. At the end crossing I gave up halfway and hiked through the water.
The trail was somewhat strenuous up to the Jennings Peak junction. From there to Sandwich Mountain was much easier and I moved at a good pace. Good views at both summits though there was cloud cover. Hike down was fast pace without difficulty.
