Itinerary:

So, I haven't led this one in four years, so might as well give it a go. This hike will have a combination of dirt single track trails, paved park paths and neighborhood roads.

This one is a bit of a challenging one with 4 hills to make you suffer.

Overall, the hike is about 11.5 KM and will go from North York Centre Station to Sheppard-Yonge Station.

I have a plan for a washroom break about 1 hour into the hike.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:

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 on the south-west side.

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