Itinerary:

So tonight's hike is brand new for me, in the sense I've never been on about half of the trail, but I have done extensive research on it and obviously want to try it.

We'll start from York University Station and head down the Black Creek before before making our way over to Downsview Park Station for 12.5 KM.

The majority of this hike is on paved trails or through neighborhoods with probably about two hills.

There are a few washrooms near the start of the hike, none at the end, but because I don't know what the half of the hike is like, I don't know whether or not there will be washrooms on the route.

Otherwise, this route is a bit experimental for me so I apologize in advance if there are any navigational 'boo boos' on the route.
