EVENT DETAILS

So, I've wanted to do a loop from Royal York Station for a while now. This new hike will be testing some trails along the Mimico creek and through the neighborhood of Thompson Orchard.

This 11 KM hike will both start and finish at Royal York Subway Station.

Terrain for this hike includes some neighborhoods, wide paved park paths, a muddy construction area, some single track trails as well as some gravel paths.

In terms of hills, there's one large climb out of the Humber Valley, about halfway through the route.

Sadly, there isn't really anywhere to use the washroom this time of the year.
