Itinerary:

So I'm just gonna rate this hike as an unofficial D3.5, just because I plan on going along the ridge, which is the tougher of the mountain biking trails in Crothers' Woods, which I'm expecting to be relatively muddy and dark, since it's spring. Please be prepared, or else you may suffer going through this section of trail.

I've limited this hike to just 10 people, because I know there will be quite a gap as we go along the ridge, because of the challenging single track trail.

This challenging 10.5 KM hike will go from Victoria Park Station to Chester Subway Station.

Since, we'll be in the valley the whole time, there aren't any washroom spots available.
