Itinerary:

DISTANCE: 8 km - 12 km

PACE: On the hill, you can choose your pace. To and from the hill we will hike at 5 km/h

DIFFICULTY: D3

Let's climb the ski hills of Earl Bales Park a bunch of times. Maybe 5, 10 or 15 times?

This D3 hike will be between 8 km to 12 km depending how many times you climb the ski hill

It will be along a mix of paved, gravel and dirt paths, and the grass on the ski hill.

If you want to climb the hill only once or twice, then lounge around while others go up and down and up and down..... that`s ok.

If you do the hill once, your hike will be about 8 km.
The 12 km distance is based on my arbitrary guess that I would do the hill 10 times.

We'll start and end at North York Centre subway station, maintaining a moderate pace of 5 km

This will be our route

Depart from North York Centre
West through York Cemetery
South through Burnett Park
climb the ski hills of Earl Bales Park a bunch of times
then back to North York Centre
