Itinerary:

So, I wasn't going to do a hike this week as I'm running my department all by myself.
However, it looks as though its going to be a light work week, so I think I'll have time to sneak a short hike in.

This 5.5 KM hike will start and finish at Finch Station.

The hike will be on a combination of paved multi use trails, sidewalks, single track dirt trails and grass fields.

In terms of hills, there should be about 2 or so of about 25 meters.

Sadly, there won't be any washrooms available on the hike, but there are some in Finch Station.
