The Sleeping Giant Park Association invites you to join us on our Fall Wildflower Hike on Sunday, September 26 (no rain date). Hike along with us and learn about the many wildflowers that bloom in the Park each autumn. Meet at the bulletin board by the kiosk near the park entrance at 1:30pm. The hike is expected to last about three hours.
Sunday, October 10, 1:30pm, East End Hike
The Sleeping Giant Park Association invites you to join us on our East End Hike on Sunday, October 10 (no rain date). Hike along with us and enjoy some of the less-often traveled trails at the east end of the Giant. This year, for the first time, we will offer two options for our meeting place: either on the road just beyond the park entrance at 1:30pm (at which time we will caravan to the starting place for the hike) or at the Chestnut Lane Trailhead (where we will actually begin the hike) at 1:45pm. The hike is a loop and should last about three hours.
Sunday, October 17, 1:30pm, Fall Foliage Hike
The Sleeping Giant Park Association invites you to join us on our Fall Foliage Hike on Sunday, October 17 (no rain date). Hike along with us and enjoy the Giant decked out its full autumn splendor. Meet at the bulletin board by the kiosk near the park entrance at 1:30pm. The hike is expected to last about three to four hours.
For all hikes, wear comfortable, supportive shoes, with good traction. Bring snacks and water if you like (preferably in a day pack). The hike is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is not necessary; however, minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult and have signed permission of a parent or legal guardian. Out of consideration for the other hikers, please leave pets at home.
The Sleeping Giant Park is located on Mt. Carmel Avenue in north Hamden (off Whitney Avenue). The park entrance is directly across the street from Quinnipiac University.
