Description: All hikers must pre-register online. Activity is cross-posted with Appalachian Mountain Club and Sleeping Giant Park Association. Adults only. No children or dogs, please. Come have fun on this Halloween hike! Please consider wearing a costume, but be sure that it won't impair your mobility, vision or safety. We'll hike six miles on the violet and yellow trails, with a detour to the base of the cliffs. We'll go around the perimeter of the park, not to the tower or to the Giant's head. There is no easy way to shorten the hike, so please be sure that you're able to do six miles on rocky trails with some scrambles (but no climbing). Hikers must wear appropriate hiking footwear with good traction: no sneakers. Hiking poles are strongly recommended. Hikers must carry at least 32 oz. of water, a snack, personal medications and first-aid supplies. Remember your sunscreen, and insect and tick repellent. Meet at 9:15 for a prompt 9:30 start. Meet at the white bathroom building: when you enter the park, drive straight ahead and around the circle to this lot. The end time is an estimate, and is subject to change, depending on the trails' conditions and on the abilities of hikers. Address is 200 Mount Carmel Avenue, Hamden. If you need to cancel, please notify the leader ASAP: 3millerwjr@gmail.com.
