I thought I would try something different for a weekday hike. I have done most of this trail many times on weekends,
but for those of you who don't hike on weekends, here it is for you

we will walk to Guild Park and Gardens, then down to the waterfront and along Doris McCarthy trail for about 5 km
we will ascend a gradual hill of about 100m
the last few km of our hike will be on side streets and through McCowan District Park Trail
the trails are mostly paved with some on gravel

How to Get There:
Event Directions:We'll meet at the Guildwood GO station, 4105 Kingston Rd
inside the entrance shown in the picture below

if coming by transit, ensure to allow enough travel time to arrive well before the hike start time

if you will be driving, there is free parking at the GO station, BUT arrive extra early since
the parking lot fills up quickly by people catching the train to go downtown earlier in the day
if the lot is full there may be some parking on side streets in the area. I will leave that to you to figure out where to park
