So this is hike I've done all the parts of, but not in this specific route..

So this 11.5 KM route will go from Greenwood Station down the waterfront trail, before heading back through Corktown Commons and up through Riverdale Park to Broadview Station.

The majority of this hike is pretty flat. There's one challenging ravine near the start of the hike, just because it's single track, but the majority of the hike is on wide park paths or through neighborhood. Also, the best challenge will be a climb up the stairs out of the Don Trail and up to broadview, which is a flight of stairs and a hill totaling about 40 meters.

We'll do a washroom break about an hour and a half into the hike at a Tim Hortons.
