Itinerary:

Since there is a peak in interest for this event, I'm running this event again. This is relatively easy hike and we will be starting 8:00 am, so when we're done, you'll still have the rest of the day available.

We'll start at Broadview Subway Station and head down into the Don Valley. We'll take the Don Valley Trail north to Crothers Woods.

We'll then head through the neighborhood of Rosedale to the Brickworks.

We'll chill at the farmers market for about 45 minutes before finishing our journey. Anyone who wants to drop out at the Brickworks, there's a bus shuttle back to Broadview.

Then we'll follow the path back through the ravine out to Castle Frank Station.

The Brickworks opens at 8 am and here's the link to their website.
