Sleeping Giant is a rugged traprock mountain with a high point of 739 feet , located 8 miles north of New Haven, Connecticut. A prominent landscape feature visible for miles, the Sleeping Giant receives its name from its anthropomorphic resemblance to a slumbering human figure as seen from either the north or south. The Giant is known for its expansive clifftop vistas, rugged topography, and microclimate ecosystems. Most of the Giant is located within Sleeping Giant State Park. The mountain is a popular recreation site: over 30 miles of hiking trails traverse it including 5 miles of the 23-mile Quinnipiac Trail. Quinnipiac University is located at Mount Carmel's foot in Hamden.
