Ensure You are a Current Member of SGPA

Participants of the Giant Master program must be current “Supporting Members” of SGPA ($25+ for an individual, or $35+ for a family), and sustain their membership from the time they start the challenge until they submit their final hiking log. You may wish to establish annually recurring gifts so that your membership does not lapse.

Understand the Program Requirements

Completing the Giant Master challenge requires you to hike the 32 miles of blazed hiking trails in the park. The challenge includes connector trails and excludes the horse and cross-country ski trails. Participants should be in good physical condition, and may wish to join one of SGPA’s guided hikes before registering for this program. Additional details can be found on the Giant Master FAQ page.
