Itinerary:

So, I haven't led this specific hike in about 6 years, so might as well give it a go.

This pretty easy hike will go between Chester Station to Queens Quay Streetcar Station for a 9.5 KM.

I say this hike is pretty easy, because the majority of it is either downhill or flat, all on paved park paths or neighborhoods. We have one climb near the beginning, but it's fairly minimal.

Despite the easiest of this hike, there will not be any available washroom stops in the valley.
