Hiking @ Sleeping Giant State Park (Hamden)

Hiking at Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden, CT! Meeting Location: Main parking lot (as soon as you enter the park). Once parked, we will meet outside of the main parking lot (on the side furthest away from the road / closer to the trail). I'll post exactly where I am once I arrive. Trail: We will take the Tower Trail (main trail) up to the top. ​It is a wide, 1.5-mile gravel path (3 miles round trip) that winds gently up to the stone observation tower/castle at the summit of Mt. Carmel. Equipment: I would recommend wearing hiking boots if you have them. This is the easiest of the trails, but feel free to bring whatever items that you normally take with you when you go hiking. Pets: I will not be bringing a pet with me, but as long as your *pet is on a leash, pets are allowed* on the Hiking Trails. Feel free to bring your pet if you want to! Other Information / Cost: Free (if your vehicle is registered in Connecticut). Out of state vehicles are $15. Additional information can be found on their website.
