Itinerary:

So, I'm just doing a short double loop of the West Toronto Railpath tonight.

This hike is super easy and pretty flat, following paved trails or sidewalks. However, I should note that the drainage is not that great on this trail, so I'd expect some large puddles or icy bits, so I still recommend hiking shoes / boots.

Otherwise, this hike is only about 5 KM, starting and finishing at Dundas West Station. The only real challenge if you're like Kung Fu Panda and don't like stairs will be the climb over the railway tracks near the start of the hike.

Please note that there won't be any washroom stops on the hike, nor are there any really convenient spots nears the start/end of the hike.
