SUMMARY:Giant Master Trail Series - Hike 4 (Red Diamond\, Hexagon & Nature Trail)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sleeping Giant Park Association and the CT Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club 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*! Whether you’re working toward Giant Master status or just looking for a great day on the trails\, these hikes offer a fantastic way to experience the park’s diverse landscapes\, scenic viewpoints\, and challenging terrain. 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 8:45am (meet at 8:30am)\, and cover the Red Diamond\, Red Hexagon\, and Nature Trails (7.5+ 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. Out of consideration for other participants\, dogs are not permitted on SGPA hikes. \nAdvanced registration is required.\nClick HERE to Register and for additional information >>\nFor additional information about this or other hikes\, please contact the chair of SGPA’s Programs and Events Committee at hiking@sgpa.org. \n*Participants interested in completing the Giant Master Challenge must 1) have a current membership with SGPA\, and; 2) register for the Giant Master Program.
