Itinerary:

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

This 8 KM hike will both start & finish at North York Centre Station

The hike will be on a combination of paved cemetery roads, single track trails and grassy fields.

In terms of hills, there should be 1 steep climb of about 50 meters and a second more gradual climb of 50 meters.
Then, finishing with a climb of about 25 meters.

I'll stop for a washroom break at the Earl Bales Community Centre located about 4.5 KM into the hike.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS A SUBWAY CLOSURE ON LINE 1 BETWEEN FINCH & ST CLAIR STATION THIS WEEKEND, WHICH WILL AFFECT THIS HIKE.

    We'll meet outside the Starbucks at North York Centre Subway Station. The Starbucks is located on the west of Yonge St and on the north side of Mel Lastman Square and across the street from Empress Walk Mall.

    For those driving:

    There is street parking in the area, west of Beecroft Rd

    Or, there's a pay parking lot on the North- East corner at Empress/Park Home and Yonge Street, which is three traffic lights north of Sheppard Ave.
    Then it's just a short walk to the Starbucks, which is located south of Empress/Park Home on the west side.

    Look for me in the Blue Toronto Outdoor Club T-Shirt.
