| Comments: |
I'm biased, of course, but Drakes Brooks Trail is a great way to access Jennings Peak and Sandwich Dome. Gradual grades along the brook before a steep climb to the junction with Sandwich Mountain Trail. Views from Jennings were spectacular. We saw about 15 4,000 footers from the various vantage points. |
