Pace: Leisurely (2-3 km/hr), Moderate (3-4 km/hr)
Terrain: Level 2 (Intermediate – some hills and uneven surfaces, rocks and roots underfoot)
Distance (km): 8.24 kmDescription
This is the first in a series of five hikes that will be offered one Sunday per month so that participants can earn the Toronto Side Trails Badge during the winter and early spring. Each out-and-back hike will cover a distance of 8-11 km and be hiked at a leisurely to moderate pace (approximately 3 km/h). Please note that the hikes will be posted separately on the BTC calendar – you will have to register for each hike that you’re interested in joining.For this first hike we will explore the newest side trails in the Toronto section – the Beeney Creek Side Trail and the Ancient Maple Side Trail – as well as the nearby Ridge Side Trail and the Todd Bardes Meadowland Side Trail.
Please dress appropriately for a winter hike by dressing in layers (wear an inner layer that wicks sweat away from your skin, a middle layer that keeps you warm, and an outer layer that protects you from wind and snow), wearing gloves/mittens and a toque, and wearing warm and comfortable footwear that has good traction in snow/ice (icers placed over your boots work great!). Hiking poles or walking sticks are an asset since they will help keep you balanced if the ground is slippery. As well, make sure you bring enough water and food for a 3 hour hike since we’ll be covering a total distance of 8.24 km.
Since parking might be limited at the places we’ll be hiking in this hike series, we will meet at the Tim Horton’s on Trafalgar Road just south of Highway 401 (coordinates are 43.567794, -79.826086) and then carpool to the start of each hike. Please be prepared to participate in each carpool by ensuring you have space in your car if you are not already carpooling with others to the Tim Horton’s meeting point.
Looking forward to exploring some of Toronto’s side trails with you!
