About us
We are a not-for-profit organization for outdoor enthusiasts from the Toronto area. Join us for one of our guided local, national or international adventures. Our activities range from a simple stroll in the park or a summer picnic to backpacking, canoeing and camping in a safe but friendly environment.
The idea is to stay active, make new friends, and keep doing what we all love to do -- enjoy the outdoors! All members of Hiking Network - including volunteer organizers - are responsible for their own actions, and required to comply with government health and safety advisories and measures.
