Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for today.

This 13 KM hike will go between Broadview Station and Main Street Station.

The hike will be on a combination of paved trails, wooden boardwalks, sidewalks and through a potentially muddy field.

In terms of hills, there should be one long staircase up out of the Glen Stewart ravine to make you suffer.

I'll stop for a washroom break just a KM into the hike in Riverdale Park East and provide a 2nd option at a Tim Hortons, located about 6.5 KM in.

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'.
