Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for today.
Trying out a new hike for a new station, so bare with me if the logistics are completely perfect.

This 8 KM hike will both start and finish at O'Connor Station.

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

In terms of hills, there should be 1 climb of 50 meters and 1 climb of 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the O'Connor Community Centre, located about 1.5 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:

First Aid Kit

A smile

Whistle Icers or traction devices
