We will meet at the Chestnut Lane entrance of Sleeping Giant at 8:45 AM and start the hike promptly at 9:00 AM. Inclement weather cancels. Please note that the trails at Sleeping Giant can be very rocky with some scrambling parts (both up & down). Sturdy hiking shoes with good grippy soles are a must. We plan to hike at a rigorous pace (2 mph) and these trails have uneven terrain with some challenging rocky sections. Bring water and snacks/lunch. No dogs.
