Itinerary:

Hike For A Slice, Part III. Here we go.

The hike will start at High Park Station. We will hike south through High Park to the Waterfront. From there we will head east along the waterfront trail until we get to the Exhibition Grounds. From there we will wind our way north through some neighbourhood streets and parks to Bathurst & College where the hiking part of the event will end.

Following the hike I will take anyone so inclined to a local pizza joint for a slice, but this part of the event is optional. This pizza place offers a more American style, 2am pizza. There is also limited seating so we may need to eat at nearby Trinity-Bellwoods Park.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This pizzeria is very old school and only accepts cash (they have no debit/credit machine to speak of). If you intend to purchase pizza, you must bring cash money with you.

The route is 10km long and we will be hiking at a moderate pace of 4.5-5.0km/h with a few short breaks. I expect the hike to take about 2 - 2.5 hours. We will be walking on a mix of dirt/gravel trails and sidewalks, so I would suggest a good pair of hiking shoes. The route is fairly flat with a few small hills in the first half.

Please plan to arrive before the posted start time, we will be leaving immediately at 7:00pm. This hike will take place rain or shine.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

High Park Subway Station is located on the Bloor- Danforth Subway Line (also known as Line 2) on Quebec Ave just north of Bloor St W (also accessible via High Park Ave).

If you are arriving on the subway, follow the exit signs to High Park Ave & Quebec Ave. I will be inside the main entrance at the top of the stairs. Look for me with a black backpack and a Blue Jays cap.
