Itinerary:

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

This 11.5 KM hike will travel between Glencaren Staiton to Dundas West Station.

The hike will be on a combination of either sidewalks, paved park paths, single track fields or grassy fields.

In terms of hills, there should be should be a a 25 meter climb as well as a long staircase towards the end of the hike

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Joseph J. Piccininni Community Centre located about 8 KM into the hike.

Post hike, i'm going to grab a slice of Pizza at King Slice, if you'd like to join me.

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 ON AMAZON'.
