Dates - March 9, 2014
Peaks - Noon Peak and Jennings Peak
Trails - Sandwich Mountain Trail and Drake's Brook Trail
Companions - Dorothy
Got a late start and hit the trail, after the time change, at 12:45 p.m. Headed up Sandwich Mountain Trail to Noon Peak without issue. Mild temperature with a little bit of wind cutting through the trees. A nice view of Tecumseh and the Tripyramids from the scenic viewpoint right before Noon Peak. Beautiful southerly view from Jenning's Peak viewpoint, where we enjoyed a couple of PB&J sandwiches. Met another hiker and his dog there, who was also interested in the PB&J's. Didn't stay too long. Turned around and headed down Drake's Brook Trail to close the loop. Was planning on doing some back country sledding on our butt sleds but found the snow to be a little too hard due to the volume of usage of the trail and the warmer weather the days before. Did get a few nice sections of sliding in, though. Finished the loop in 3:30 total. No issues anywhere re blow downs or otherwise.
Didn't cross anything off my lists, but a nice little hike anyways.
