Itinerary:

A nice, relatively flat hike across the city with rather large hill in the middle. I'm hoping to walk a moderate pace of 4.5 km/hr, maybe a bit slower if there's lots of snow on the ground. The whole hike should be about 9.5 km.

This hike is for people who want to go at slow but steady pace. We won't going fast but please sign only if you can maintain moderate pace for the entire two and a half hour hike.

Traction devices (icers / yaktracks) are a good idea since trail can get icy in places, especially along Taylor Creek. Better to have them than not.

1. Meet at Victoria Park Station
2. Hike along Taylor Creek Park
3. Go south along the Don Valley Trail
4. Up Beechwoord Dr.
5. South through some lovely East York neighbourhoods.
6. End at Chester Station

Please arrive on time as we will be leaving with five minutes of the start time.
