Itinerary:

I've been wanting to run this hike for a really long time, but haven't had the right opportunity to do so. Till Now!

We will be exploring some of the obscure trails in the Don Valley trail system. For example, Clothes Woods and the Don Valley Biking Trail.

NOTE: We can only use the Don Valley Mountain Biking Trail in the winter, so this is the perfect time to explore this trail.

We will follow this path:

North on Sherbourne to Bloor
East on Bloor to Pedestrian Bridge
North on Pedestrian Bridge and Glen Road
North on Glen Road to Douglas Dr.
East on Douglas Dr.
North on Ashley Ave.
East on Governors Rd.
North-East on Nesbit Dr.
Cross Bayview to Clothes Woods Park
North on Don Valley Mountain Biking Trail (Unused in Winter)
Connect to Don Valley Trail and travel North to Sunnybrook Park.
Cross Don River, turn left and head out of park.
South on Sutherland Dr.
West on Broadway Ave.
South on Yonge St.
End at Eglinton Subway Station

Concluding this walk, anyone who wants to say, we can head to a local Tim Hortons to socialize.

The hike is about 15 km overall and we will aim to hike at 3.5-4km/h. NOTE: This hike does not pass any subway stations other than at the beginning and end, so be prepared to walk all 15 KM as there will be few places to drop out of hike.

Some walker/hikers like to go at a faster pace, but feel free to go at your own pace as the group meets together at major intersections or turns.
