    Description

    Let’s explore the city in winter and build up our appetites for the holiday season while earning the unique Toronto Urban Hike Badge.

    To qualify for the badge, we will embark on a 74 KM loop (map: https://onthegomap.com/s/c2c1hf3n ) through a series of four Saturday hikes scheduled for Nov 25 (18 KM), Dec 2 (17 KM), Dec 9 (23 KM), and Dec 16 (20 KM). On both Nov 25 and Dec 2, we will conclude our hikes at Leslie & Sheppard, with the option to visit the Mountain Equipment Company North York store for an introduction to winter hiking gear.

    Please bring hot beverage and snacks/light lunch for our journey. We will take short breaks for restroom stops and lunch at suitable locations along the trails. The majority of the route consists of paved paths, so running shoes are recommended if it’s dry and water proof shoes if it’s rain or snow.

    Badges by request will be presented at the last hike. The cost of the badge is $5 for members and $15 for non-members.

    On Dec 2, we will start from Finch West Station and end at Leslie Station at Sheppard & Leslie.
