Giant Master Trail Series – Hike 2 (Red Circle & Red Square)

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.

Each 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.

This hike will depart from the Tuttle Ave. parking lot for the Red Circle Trail at 9:00am (meet at 8:45am), and cover the Red Circle and Red Square trails (5 miles).

This 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.

Advanced registration is required. A registration form will be made available as we get closer to the event date.
