(postponed from 11/7/2026) A 6+ mile loop with 1500 feet of elevation covering the Blue and Yellow Trails. This hike WILL go over the head, a steep and exposed route. Registration requested but not required. We will meet at the Mt. Carmel Avenue main entrance of Sleeping Giant at 9:00 AM and start the hike promptly at 9:15 AM. (Be ready to start hiking at 9:15, incorporate extra time BEFORE for restroom stop). Wet trail conditions will cancel for safety reasons - registrants will be notified. Please note that this covers the most challenging trail at Sleeping Giant. It is over mostly rocky uneven terrain with some scrambling parts (both up & down). It goes over the head of the Giant early in the hike. Sturdy hiking shoes with good grippy soles are a must. We plan to hike at a rigorous pace (average about 2 mph, but slower on tough parts of blue trail). Bring water and snacks/lunch. No dogs.
