Itinerary:

Ontario is beautiful. There are many cool trails and things to see outside of Toronto.
My aim is to hit different interesting hiking trails throughout the GTA and beyond which can be accessed by public transit.
Today's hike was suggested by 2 of my regulars and an alternative route has been competed by Daniel in the past
- Ideas, credit to their respectful owners.

This 19 KM lollipop hike will both start and finish at Aldershot Go Station.

Please bring a lunch and at least 1-2 Litres of water.

Here's the plan for today:
- We'll stop for lunch beside the Grinestone Creek about 5.5 KM into the hike
- We'll make a second stop food for Apple Fritters at the famous Copper Kettle Cafe at the 12 KM mark.
- We'll then pass Smokey Hollow Falls at about the 13 KM mark before heading back to Aldershot GO Station.

If you cannot walk the entire distance please do not sign up for this hike.
