ICERS: we may need icers for this hike. Be prepared. You must keep icers in your pack during the winter months.

as of Wed Dec 24, 2025 the forecast shows about 10 cm of snow on Friday, so I am hoping the Rosedale Golf Course will be open to the public for walking (Plan A). If not, then we will do a few extra km on the Don Valley Golf Course and Earl Bales Park (Plan B)

we will start at Lawrence station and end at York Mills station

we will be doing some exploration! between km 2 to 5

that part of this hike will be new to me, specifically Rosedale Golf Course

the hike will be on a mix of sidewalk, golf course, and ravine trails
