Fun rock scrambling so wear good hiking shoes. Some scrambles were difficult but you will be rewarded with great views!
A challenging hike! Blue and white trails have some very difficult terrain. highly recommend a quality pair of boots before attempting. Views from the tower are great, and this trail mostly avoids the heavily trafficked tower trail.
I would actually recommend following the blue trail all the way though. Taking the white trail on the return leg is just as difficult and not nearly as rewarding.
these are the upper parts of trails at Sleeping Giant Park. great place to start on weekends when the lower part of park is busy
