Description
Join me for a walk for late fall sceneries, as well as memories of two TBTC hiking friends who have left us, one in November 2022, and the other in August 2024.
Starting from the High Park North Gate, we’ll explore some beautiful spots along the way. We’ll pass by Wayne’s bench in High Park and Wayne’s tree in Sir Casimir Gzowski Park before heading west on the Waterfront Trail. Then, we’ll follow the Humber River Trail northward and make our way to the Village of Islington, where we’ll admire over 20 large murals that recreate scenes from decades past. Our hike will conclude at Kipling Station. Most of the route will be on paved and hard surfaces.
A few notes:
- Dress appropriately for the weather
- Bring water and snacks
- Running shoes are recommended over hiking boots.
- No pets.
