Itinerary:

I cannot believe it is already March and I have not been out with the TOC this year! There are many things I miss doing regularly, with no doubt the one thing I miss the most is photographing this great city.

I decided that if I am not going to the bike show this weekend, the very least I could do is something bike related or sort of ;) The West Toronto Railpath is a trail that is being built on abandoned railway beds which have been out of use for over 40 years. I just walked part of it, and there are some interesting graffiti that would make great photographs.

We will meet at Dundas West Station to walk north on Dundas St and enter the trail. After covering the entire trail (2.1km long from end to end, so 4.2 round trip), we will head east on Dupont Street which is an interesting street with lot of history. Take a look at this blog post: A Visual History of Dupont Street We could try to spot the locations of the pictures. Depending on how fast/slow we walk, we will go all the way to Ave Rd or go North to Davenport around Casa Loma. Ideally I would like to grab something to eat around 6sh.

If you are looking for a workout, this is not the hike for you. We will be covering around 7km in total in probably 2 to 3hrs.

Luckily the weather will cooperate and would be a great day for pictures! If forecast ends to be better for Sunday, I might change the hike to Sunday.

Required Items to Bring:
plenty of water; snacks; rain gear (depending upon weather forecast); suitable clothing (layers) for walking in this unpredictable winter; money for meal afterwards (optional)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
