The Sleeping Giant is a rock formation on Sibley Peninsula which resembles a giant lying down on its back when viewed from the West to North-Northwest section of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Southward along the shoreline toward Squaw Bay the Sleeping Giant starts to separate into its various sections. Most distinctly in the view from the cliffs at Squaw Bay the Giant appears to have an "Adam's Apple". The formation is part of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. Its dramatic steep cliffs are among the highest in Ontario (250 m). The southernmost point is known as Thunder Cape, depicted by many early Canadian artists such as William Armstrong. An Ojibway legend identifies the giant as Nanabijou, who was turned to stone when the secret location of a rich silver mine now known as Silver Islet was disclosed to white men.

Sunset over Kakabeka Falls just west of Thunder Bay. A beautiful stop on the Trans Canada.
