Sleeping Giant offers amazing opportunities for winter hiking and backcountry camping! Before heading out on your winter adventure, here are some tips to help keep you safe: . Let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return. . Bring a park map and plan out your route ahead of time.... . Dress in lots of layers and avoid wearing cotton . Wear winter footwear that will keep your feet dry and insulated. . Pack a headlamp and bring extra batteries! Days are much shorter in the winter so it's important to have a backup plan to navigate if it gets dark. . Drink lots of water and take lots of snack breaks while hiking. . Bring sunglasses and sunscreen! The sun's rays reflecting on snow and ice can be harmful for your eyes. . Pack a first aid kit and emergency essentials such as firestarter, a knife or multitool, shelter, and extra clothes, food and water. . Only hike on marked trails and stay back from cliff edges, they become more slippery and dangerous in the wintertime. . Happy trails! . #winterhiking #wintersafety #backcountryskills #wintercamping #ontarioparks #sleepinggiantprovincialpark See more
