Itinerary:

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

This 9.5 KM hike will both start and finish at York Mills Subway Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, single track trails & gravel pathways.

In terms of hills, there should be 4 climbs of 50 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Earl Bales Community Centre, located about 5 KM into the hike.

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'.
