I promised my cousin that next time she came to visit that we would hike
the Sleeping Giant. As we got closer to the day I started looking into
the trail maps as I haven't done this hike in a very very long time. I
was shocked to see it was going to be 22 Kms!
We weren't biking in
either.
I was a wee bit apprehensive when the top of the trail was designated
'extreme'. What was I getting us into?
We planned out which day to go based on the forecasts, packed some
supplies and my camera gear and set off.
This was an amazing experience and I would recommend this particular day
hike to anyone who is in reasonable health. Most of the hike is
pleasant and mostly even terrain.The new trail the park has built to divert away from the boulder path is superb. The top part of the trail is a bit taxing as it's where you actually start trekking to the top. But don't worry - If I can do it - so can you! And it's so worth it!
