Itinerary:
We will meet at St Clair Station and follow this route:

- Head down into the ravine and go north through Mount Pleasant Cemetery
- Pick up the Gardner Beltline Trail and head northwest
- South past Eglinton West Station into Cedarvale Park
- South along Nordheimer Ravine to Casa Loma
- Down the 100+ stairs, continuing to Spadina & Dupont
- Head to a nearby pizza joint for a slice (if you wish)

Route Rundown:
Total Distance: 10km
Pace: Between 4.5 - 5.0 km/h
Expected Time: 2 - 2.5 hrs + pizza time
Trails: Mostly dirt/gravel trails with some paved sections and sidewalks
Terrain: A few hills at the beginning, stairs near the end, and some rolling sections in the middle.

After the hike I will take anyone interested to a nearby pizza joint for a slice, but this part of the event is optional. This place has a few different slices to choose from. You can get a slice for under $5, however, some of them are a bit more than $5. If pizza isn't your thing, this place is also known for their Italian and Asian style dishes, so you may find something else to you liking.

Please plan to arrive before the posted start time, we will be leaving immediately at 2:30pm. I will turn my phone off once we begin, so any calls or messages will likely not be returned until the end of the hike. This hike will go forward rain or shine. A high risk of a thunderstorm (80%+) 24 hours prior may result in postponement or cancellation.

Weather appropriate clothing
Comfortable footwear
1 - 2 L of water

How to Get There:
Event Directions:St. Clair Station is located on the Yonge Subway (also known as Line 1) on St. Clair Ave E, just east of Yonge St. We will meet outside the main entrance by the McDonald's. Look for me with a black backpack and a Blue Jays cap.
