DESCRIPTION:Join the Sleeping Giant Park Association for this guided hike series designed to help you complete the Giant Master Challenge*—or simply explore new trails at Sleeping Giant State Park! The Giant Master Program challenges hikers to traverse all 32 miles of blazed trails in the park\, and this six-hike series will guide participants through every section of the Giant’s extensive trail system. \nEach hike in the series will cover a different portion of the park\, so if you complete all six\, you will have successfully conquered the Giant Master Challenge*!

Hikes will be led by SGPA Board Member and veteran hike leader\, Mary Anne Hardy. \nThis hike will depart from the park’s main entrance at 9:00am (meet at 8:45am)\, and cover the White and Violet trails (6.5+ miles).\nThis hike will involve traveling over uneven terrain\, with some possible rock scrambling. As such\, participants should be in good physical condition\, dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable\, supportive shoes with good traction. A day pack with snacks\, water\, sunscreen and any other essentials is recommended.
