Itinerary:

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

This 8.5 KM hike will go between Royal York Station and Old Mill Station.

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

In terms of hills, there should be one 25 meter stair climb right at the end of the hike.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Central Arena located about 1 KM into the hike.

    Event Directions:

    For this hike, we'll meet at Royal York Subway Station, which is located on Line 2, Bloor-Danforth, 2 stations east of Kipling & 13 west of St. George.

    For those of you driving, Royal York Station is located at 955 Royal York Rd, just north of Bloor, on the east side.
    In terms of parking, there's a parking lot located, one block east of the station entrance on Willingdon Blvd.

    We'll meet at the Royal York Exit, which can be accessed from the western side of the platform.
    If you do not know where the western side of the platform is, follow the direction of the westbound train.

    Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt, standing outside the station.
    If its unfavorable weather, then I'll be standing just inside the station doors.
