Itinerary:

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

This 8 KM hike will start at Pape Station and end at Chester Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks and paved park paths - one path might be a bit flooded since its typically wet in may, so hiking boots are a good idea.

In terms of hills, there should be 2 climbs of about 50 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break in Withrow Park about 1 KM into the hike.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THERE IS A SUBWAY CLOSURE ON LINE 1 BETWEEN SHEPPARD-YONGE AND COLLEGE STATION STARTING AT 11 PM.
