Itinerary:

NOTE: The carpool leaves Don Mills Station at 10:15 AM.

So this is my 14th time leading this beginner to intermediate trail. This trail is a part of the Oak Ridge Moraine with a terrain of rolling hills and sandy/clay trails.

The length of this hike is approx. 12 KM, so if you sign up, you are expected to complete the entire trail. NOTE: There are no washrooms in this park.

Pack a lunch as we will eat take a break on trail for lunch.

Individuals willing to drive will get priority on the wait list, if required.

DRIVERS, WHEN YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE WRITE IN THE NOTES SECTION, THE AMOUNT OF PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR CAR, or else you may be moved to the wait list until this is completed!!!

Also, if you sign up and say that you're 'Meeting At the Event,' it is expected that you are driving yourself to the trailhead and not coming to the carpool. If you plan on meeting us at the event instead of the carpool, please ensure that you arrive on time @ 11 AM.
