Itinerary:

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

This 12.5 KM hike will be a loop, both starting and finishing at Eglinton West Station.

The hike will be on a combination of wide gravel trails, neighbourhood sidewalks and single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, there should be 4 hills of about 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Loblaws located at 9 KM into the hike.

In case your not interested in completing the entire hike, there are a few places to drop off.
---6.5 KM at Summerhill Station
---9 KM at St. Clair West Station

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 from Amazon'.

    Eglinton West Subway Station is on the Yonge- University & Spadina subway line, 4 stops north of St. George & 5 stops south of Downsview.
    It is located at Eglinton West and Allan Road. Look for me at the lone entrance of the station.

    For those of you driving, Eglinton West Station is located at the end of the Allen Road at Eglinton Station.
    In terms of parking, there should be street parking available in the neighborhood north of the station.
