Sleeping Giant (also known as the Blue Hills and Mount Carmel), (Hobbomock in Quinnipiac), is a rugged traprock mountain with a high point of 739 feet (225 m), located eight miles (13 km) 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 (48 km) of hiking trails traverse it including 5 miles (8 km) of the 23-mile (37 km) Quinnipiac Trail. Quinnipiac University is located at Mount Carmel's foot in Ham

Le sommet s'élève à 225 mètres d'altitude. Le Sleeping Giant est une destination populaire pour la pratique de sports en plein air, réputée pour ses falaises, le panorama qu'elle offre, son microclimat ainsi que sa faune et sa flore variées. La plus grande partie de la montagne est protégée au sein du Sleeping Giant State Park, dominé par une tour d'observation construite en 1936 et classée au Registre national des lieux historiques, la Sleeping Giant Tower. (fr) Sleeping Giant (auch: Mount Carmel) im südlichen Zentral-Connecticut ist ein zerklüfteter Basaltfelsen nördlich von New Haven. Er ist Teil der schmalen Metacomet Ridge, die sich vom Long Island Sound in der Nähe von New Haven nördlich durch das Connecticut River Valley von Massachusetts bis zur Grenze von Vermont erstreckt. Als herausragende Landmarke erhielt er seinen Namen durch die Ähnlichkeit mit einer schlafenden menschlichen Form, die man sowohl von Norden, als auch von Süden her erkennen kann. Der Giant ist sowohl bekannt für die weite Aussicht, die man von der Höhe seiner Kliffs erlebt, als auch für seine malerische Landschaft und seine interessanten mikroklimatischen Ökosysteme. Der größte Teil des Berges steht als Sleeping Giant State Park unter Naturschutz.
