Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for this evening.

This 8 KM hike will start at Pape Station and end at Chester Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks and paved park paths - one path might be a bit flooded since its typically wet in may, so hiking boots are a good idea.

In terms of hills, there should be 2 climbs of about 50 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break in Withrow Park about 1 KM into the hike.

Post hike, if anyone's interested I might go grab a drink at a pub on the Danforth if anyone would like to join.

Required Items to Bring:

Flashlight / Headlight

Hiking boots / hiking shoes

Weather appropriate clothing

Water

Event Directions:

Lets meet at Pape Subway Station at the main entrance, which is on the east side of Pape Avenue, beside the Tim Hortons. Pape station is located 5 stations east of Bloor-Yonge.

For those of you driving, Pape Station is located just north of the intersection of Pape & Danforth.
In terms of parking, there's a parking lot across from the station entrance on the west side.
