Itinerary:

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

This 8.5 KM hike will both start and finish at Warden Station.

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

In terms of hills, there are no climbs over 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Warden Hilltop Community Centre located about 2.5 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'.

    • How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    Please be advised that there is a lot of construction at Warden Station.

    We'll meet at the pedestrian pathway that leads to St Clair Avenue from Warden Station.
    I'll just be hanging out under the train bridge by the mural.
    If its cold or wet, I might be in the pedestrian walkway tunnel.

    Warden Station is located on line 2 (Bloor- Danforth), one station west of Kennedy & 12 stations east of Yonge.
    Upon going down the stairs to exit the subway, turn left (in the opposite direction of the buses & passenger pickup) to take the pathway out to St Clair.

    For those of you driving, Warden Station has a parking lot on the North-East corner of St. Clair & Warden and can be accessed from Warden Ave.
    If walking from the parking lot, the entrance to the station is off St Clair Avenue near the railway bridge.
    My plan is just be under the railway bridge.
