Itinerary:
It promises to be a beautiful Fall day- perfect for exploring the wooded Don River ravines. The trail passes the former Don Valley Brickworks located just east of the ravine where Evergreen is transforming the Brickworks into a thriving environmentally based cultural attraction. We will be following the old Belt Line

There is no major difficulty in the terrain, just a couple of hills, but we will be hiking in a easy pace.

The hike is about 10 km overall and we will aim to hike at 3.5-4km/h.

We will follow this path:

  1. Depart from Eglinton West Station
  2. Follow the Belt Line
  3. Pass beside the Mount Pleasant Cemetery
  4. Follow the Moore Ravine south to the brickworks
  5. Follow the Vale of Avoca ravine north
  6. Arrive to St. Clair Subway Station

6 or 7km into the route, we will stop at the new brickworks farmers market for 20-30 minutes and check out what the vendors have to offer. After our shopping is complete, we will continue to follow the ravine back up to St. Clair Station.
