So, here's another of my monday evening urban hikes. This one isn't too tough, as we will primarily be walking along flat ground throughout the Don Valley and along a hydro corridor.

Since we are walking along a hydro corridor, I'm gonna suggestion, you wear a warm jacket and gloves as it can get quite windy along there.

Otherwise, this hike is gonna start from York Mills Station and go to Finch Station for an 12.5 KM route.

There will be a 2 km section, where the trail will be quite dark, please bring a flashlight or headlight.


Required Items to Bring:
  • Flashlight / Headlight
  • Hiking shoes / Hiking boots, always a safe idea
  • Water/Snacks
  • Weather appropriate clothing
  • Recommended Items to Bring:
    Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
  • A smile
  • First Aid Kit

  • How to Get There:
