Description
Please join me Sunday, October 20, 2024 at Finch Station by 9:20 am at the turnstiles at the main entrance. Note there is extended travel time to get to the trail head.
We will walk to the YRT terminal where we will take the VIVA Blue bus north to 16th Ave (departs 9:33 am). At 16th Ave we will change to the YRT Rutherford 85 westbound. The ETA for our destination at Keel St is 10:14 am. VIVA / YRT takes the presto card. For VIVA, scan the card before boarding the bus. For YRT you can scan on the bus.
We will hike from Keele and Rutherford to Dufferin and Steeles for an estimated distance of 8.8 km. This includes Keffer Marsh. The terrain is flat except for entering and leaving the ravines.
Please bring at least two liters of water and a light snack. The trail can be muddy so waterproof footwear is recommended. If the possibility of wet feet is an issue for you then you might want to sit this one out.
The pub stop after is at Montana's west of Dufferin on Steeles.
