Spring Wildflower Hike
The Sleeping Giant Park Association invites you to join us on our Spring Wildflower Hike on Sunday, April 27. Hike along with us and enjoy the great variety of spring wildflowers blooming in the park. Meet at the bulletin board by the kiosk near the park entrance at 1:30 P.M. The hike is expected to last about three hours and involve traveling over uneven, rocky terrain, possibly with a degree of rock scrambling. Hikers should be in good physical condition. 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 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.
