Itinerary:

Ontario is beautiful. There are many cool trails and things to see outside of Toronto.
My aim is to hit different interesting hiking trails throughout the GTA and beyond which can be accessed by public transit.

Welcome to episode 2 of my 2027 Chasing Waterfalls Series.
This time following along the lines of 2026, we'll be going back to Tews / Webster Falls, but for a much shorter route.

If you cannot walk the entire distance please do not sign up for this hike
As there a few places that are difficult for transit / uber to access.
