Itinerary:

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

This 9.5 KM hike will travel between Bayview Station and Bessarion Station.

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

In terms of hills, there should be about 2.
One climb for about 25 meters and a set of stairs for about 50 meters.

Sadly, there won't be any washrooms available on this route.

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:

    Bayview Subway Station is located on the Sheppard Line (line 4), 1 stop east of Sheppard-Yonge & 3 stops west of Don Mills Station.

    We'll meet outside the exit on the east side of Bayview, north side of Sheppard, across the street from the Shell gas station.
    When exiting the subway, look for the sign for buses and then go to the exit for the northbound buses.
    This exit has an escalator off the subway platform.
    Please DO NOT go to the exit for the YMCA or Sheppard Avenue

    For those of you driving, the meet point will be on the N.E. corner of Sheppard and Bayview.
    You can probably park in Bayview Village.

    Look for me in the BLUE Toronto Outdoor Club shirt at the entrance to the station.
