Itinerary:

So I have the day off, which is grand, however I don't know what to do with myself, so I'm gonna run an urban hike.

I've been told by a couple people that they want more D2s on the calendar, so here's one for you.

We'll start at Chester Subway Station and head down into the Don Valley for a walk down the Don River and then East along Lake Ontario to Union.

Total distance for this hike is approx. 10 KM

This urban hike will always be on a paved trail, baring no snow, so is relatively easy.

I WILL LEAD A SLOWER PACE. I am recovering from a foot injury, so if you would like to walk faster, please do not sign up for this event, thanks.

  • Good footwear - Hiking Boots/Shoes are recommended if there is snow or ice
  • Water 1-2 L and snacks
