Itinerary:

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

This 12 KM hike will both start and finish at Finch West Station.
However, there is an option to leave the hike at 7 KM when we pass Tobermory Station.

The hike will be on a combination of single track dirt trails, sidewalks, grassy fields and paved park paths,
which could be covered in ice / snow.

In terms of hills, there should be about 3 climbs of 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Grandravine Community Centre, located about 4 KM into the hike.

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 ON AMAZON'.

Required Items to Bring:

Hiking boots / hiking shoes

Weather appropriate clothing

Water

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

First Aid Kit

A smile

Whistle Icers or traction devices
