Beginner Hiking Toronto

November hiking in Don Valley Trails

November is good to visit the DV trails. The trees will likely still be in nice colors. Nice to get out in the hature, get some exrcise, meet interesting people and connect with nature. The outdoor Farmers market is also a nice visit towards the end. After if there is enough interest, we may go to nearby Sister Saigon on Yonge st which is connect to Saigon Lotus in KM. And if the piano at Indigo Bookstore is open, then it might be nice to visit there. Should be another good trip. Lets get another nice turn out. You need to be reasonably fit for this 8 - 10 km hike with hills. Bring water and some snacks. Wear good hiking shoes also. And please be on time.

🍂 Crothers Woods Fall Hike & Ice Cream Treat! 🍦

## 🍂 **Crothers Woods Fall Hike & Ice Cream Treat!** 🍦 Toronto doesn’t have many true hiking trails — but Crothers Woods is one of the best! This beautiful wooded trail is especially stunning in the fall, with the leaves turning every shade of red and gold. We’ll start by walking along **Broadview Avenue to Pottery Road**, heading down the hill to meet the **Don Valley Trail**. From there, we’ll join the **Crothers Woods Trail**, take in the fall colours, stop for a short break, and then walk back. There are a few light hills — and one big one at the very end (Pottery Road, I’m looking at you!) — but don’t worry, there’s a sweet reward waiting. After all that hard work, we’ll stop for **Dairy Queen ice cream**! This hike is a bit more challenging than some of our regular walks, but totally worth it for the views (and the ice cream). **This event happens rain or shine!** *** ### 📍 **Meetup Details** **Meeting Spot:** Right outside **Broadview Subway Station** — I’ll be the one wearing the **Moose Hat!** 🦌 **Ending Spot:** Broadview Subway Station **Meetup Fee:** $5 (cash in person or e-transfer to **mathewmaclean@hotmail.com**) *** ### 🕒 **Timing** 11:00am and I will only wait 5mins — the hike should take about **2 hours**.
