Itinerary:

Uh oh, I'm experimenting with a new route again.
My wacky brain has come out with a route going through about 3 parks I've never been in before.
If it works out great, if not, well then I won't do it again.

This 7.5 KM hike will both start and finish at Warden Subway Station.

The hike will be on a combination of sidewalks, grassy fields, a decommissioned railway bed, single track dirt trails, paved paths and cemetery roads.

In terms of hills, there no climbs over 25 meters on this hike.

I'll stop for a washroom break at a Tim Hortons, located about 4.5 km into the hike.

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'.

    • How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    We'll meet outside the Warden Avenue exit at Warden Station. To get there, just exit where the collectors booth is and follow the signs for Warden Avenue.
    However, if it is cold or wet, I'll just be inside the station and just up the stairs.

    Warden Station is located on line 2 (Bloor- Danforth), one station west of Kennedy & 12 stations east of Yonge.

    For those of you driving, Warden Station has a parking lot on the North-East & South-East corner of St. Clair & Warden and can be accessed from Warden Ave.
