With the hot weather forecast this week, it will be great to walk along the beach, so....
Let's hike along the bottom of the Scarborough Bluffs starting and ending at the Doris McCarthy Trail head.
Most of the hike will be on the beach which means sand, driftwood logs and a couple of rocky sections to negotiate

NOTE: The Doris McCarthy Trail is a path to get down to the beach. The elevation change is 311 feet (95m) which means the last part of the hike is back up the 311 feet of elevation.

This is the route we will take.

start at Doris McCarthy Trail head
south to the beach
walk by the Scarborough Bluffs
do a quick loop of Guild Park and Gardens
east along the beach towards Lower Highland Creek
have lunch somewhere when we get hungry
turn around, go back to the Doris McCarthy Trail head
