Itinerary:

So, this is my latest hike creation that I've decided to try, which will walk through some of the newer and some of the more historic neighborhoods, bridges and parks in Toronto.

This 7.5 KM hike will both start and finish at Exhibition GO Station.

This hike will primarily on paved park paths or sidewalks.

Probably the most daunting climb, will be up the stairs that takes us across the new King Liberty Bridge.
However, there is a cheat, where you can take an elevator to skip the stairs.
Otherwise, there are no climbs over 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom in Coronation Park, about 45 minutes into the hike. If that's not open, we'll just mosey over to Trillium Park just 500 meters further west.

We'll aim for a pace of 4-5 km/h.

Post hike, if anyone's interested, I'm going to head over to Arvo Coffee for a snack/coffee, if you'd like to join.

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.
