Introduction to Hiking in the Giant

The Sleeping Giant Park Association invites you to join its Introduction to Hiking in the Giant hike. Learn about the park’s many hiking trails, how to navigate in the park, and clothing and equipment that is needed for safe and enjoyable hiking.

Meet at the bulletin board by the kiosk near the park entrance at 1:30pm. The hike is expected to last about three hours and involve traveling over uneven, rocky terrain, possibly with a degree of rock scrambling. Hikers should be in good physical condition. Wear comfortable, supportive shoes with good traction. Bring snacks and water if you like (preferably in a day pack).

The hike is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is not necessary; however, minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult and have signed permission of a parent or legal guardian. Out of consideration for the other hikers, please leave pets at home.
