Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for today.

This 12.5 KM hike will be a loop, both starting and finishing at Eglinton West Station.

The hike will be on a combination of wide gravel trails, neighbourhood sidewalks and single track dirt trails.

In terms of hills, there should be 4 hills of about 25 meters.

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at the Loblaws located at 9 KM into the hike.

In case your not interested in completing the entire hike, there are a few places to drop off.
---6.5 KM at Summerhill Station
---9 KM at St. Clair West Station

I usually carry a pair of icers with me from the first snowfall of the year until the end of April, so I recommend having a pair in your pack to deal with any potential ice.
You can find the pair I use, 'here from Amazon'.
