Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for this evening.

This 11.5 KM hike will traverse between Victoria Park Station and Broadview Station.

The hike will be on a combination of paved paths, single track dirt trails and sidewalks.

In terms of hills, there should be about 2.
The largest being about 50 meters, towards the end of the hike.

Sadly, there are no washrooms available in the Don Valley because the city of Toronto hates us.

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE'S AN EARLY SUBWAY CLOSURE BETWEEN OSGOODE & KING @ 11 PM
