Itinerary:

Come join my last urban group hike before I head back to Colorado for the winter break!

Starting from Kennedy TTC, we'll hike a mix of paved multi-use trails, singletrack/MTB trails,and a little bit of neighborhood sidewalk in a big loop including trails above the Don Valley and along Taylor Creek. I've scouted out most of the loop but there may need to be a couple of minor adjustments along it.

Rated D4 butplease be prepared to hike this distance at a steady 4.5-5km/h. We should be back at Kennedy before 14:00.I will place folks without apparent experience on hikes over 16km/10mi on the waitlist until confirmation is given.

I do not take a long lunch break. Expect pausing about 3 hours in for around 10 minutes. Bio-breaks and other short pauses as needed.

You can find a map of the route (some possible small detours may have to be taken near Pharmacy ave) here.

Please bring icers in case of frozen or slippery areas.

Required Items to Bring:
Good footwear
Food & water (at least 2L)
Layered clothing appropriate for weather
Icers/traction in case of slippery footing

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Cell phone with the map loaded
Hiking poles
