Itinerary:

So, I kinda got bullied into doing another urban hike.

Here it is, going from Queen's Quay in the south of Toronto to Playter Estates at Broadview Station.

This hike will be approximately 10 km, primarily walking along paved trails, well with one really tough dirt hill, right near the end, just to torture you.

Other than the possibility of torture, other highlights include a nice view of the Don Valley, also quite close to the end.

So, hopefully, you'll come out and have a good time.

    How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    So, we'll be meeting on the North-East corner of Bay and Queens Quay, which is just outside of of the newly re-opened Queens Quay Streetcar Station.

    Queen Quay Station can be accessed by taking the streetcar south from Union Station or riding the Spadina or Exhibition Streetcar.

    This event will be starting a little later than a normal urban hike, because of travel times during the Pan-Am Games.
