Description

We'll follow the local McCowan District Recreational Trail in Scarborough and then eventually to Resthaven Memorial Gardens leading us to Brimley Road and Kingston Road. We'll approach the Scarborough Bluffs via the Chine Drive Ravine. We'll be viewing the bluffs from above (not descending) from Scarborough Bluffs Park. We'll finish at Rosetta McClain Gardens, one of Toronto's nicest public gardens (on Kingston Road east of Birchmount Road). Join us for lunch, if you wish, at Len Duckworth Fish & Chips on Kingston Road for their lunch special
