Description

Fairly flat trail (designed for horses but also utilized for hiking) running along the northern and eastern edges of Sleeping Giant. It can be useful as a long, often quiet, less technical hike, or in short segments to create various loops using the "red" north/south trails that terminate onto it at their northern ends.
