New Year's Day Hike

The Sleeping Giant Park Association invites you to join us on our New Year’s Day Hike on Wednesday, January 1 (no rain date).

Hike along with us and help us usher in the New Year at the Giant. Meet at the bulletin board by the kiosk near the park entrance at 1:30 P.M. At some point in the hike, the group may break into two smaller groups, with one returning to the starting point after about 1½ hours, while the other group will continue for another hour or so.

The hike will involve traveling over uneven, rocky terrain, possibly with a degree of rock scrambling. Hikers should be in good physical condition. Dress warmly and wear comfortable, supportive shoes, with good traction. Bring snacks and water.

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 other hikers, dogs are not permitted on the hike.

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.
