Itinerary:

So, the random hike picker has selected this urban hike for today.
I'll do a shorter, easier hike for those of you don't want to walk very far.

This 4.5 KM KM hike will both start and finish at Warden Station.

The hike will be on a combination of paved park paths, sidewalks, grassy fields and single track dirt trails.

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

I'll attempt to stop for a washroom break at Prairie Drive Park located about 2.5 KM into the hike.
There is also a washroom located in Warden Station.

For those unfamiliar with how I lead my hikes.

  • If you see me walking at a certain pace, you don’t have to walk at the same pace as me (I like to talk to different people on a hike, so I walk I different paces)
  • If you’d like to walk faster than me, that’s cool, if you like to walk slower than me, that’s cool too
  • We’ll meet up as a group when we take a major turn, cross a major intersection or if I think the group is getting too far separated.
  • We’ll do a water break, breather and sure everyone is aliver
  • I have two requests:
    1. If you choose to walk in front of me and you don’t know where you’re going, please stop and wait as I an’t going to chase after you.
    2. Please no harassment, or else you won’t be welcomed back.

    • How to Get There:
    Event Directions:

    We'll meet outside the Warden Avenue exit at Warden Station. To get there, just exit where the collectors booth is and follow the signs for Warden Avenue.
    However, if it is cold or wet, I'll just be inside the station and just up the stairs.

    Warden Station is located on line 2 (Bloor- Danforth), one station west of Kennedy & 12 stations east of Yonge.

    For those of you driving, Warden Station has a parking lot on the North-East corner of St. Clair & Warden and can be accessed from Warden Ave.
