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). Participants must sustain their membership from the time they start the challenge until they submit their final hiking log. If you are not currently a member, please consider becoming one today. Consider establishing annually recurring gifts so that your membership does not lapse.

Understand the Program Requirements

Before registering for the program, take a look at the trail map. To become a Giant Master, you will need to hike the 32 miles of blazed hiking trails (including connector trails and excluding the horse trail). 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 about the difficulty of each trail can be found on the map.
