Wilder Series: The Wilder Loop

**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/wilder-loop-fall-26)** **The loop is back and more wild than ever!** For those unfamiliar, The Wilder Loop is 16 km of remote, rugged terrain through one of Ontario’s most untouched landscapes. Right from the start, the trail throws you into the wild: the first 5 km have everything we love about backcountry hiking; twisting forest paths, sweeping granite ridges, narrow boardwalks, and multiple beaver dams to scramble across. No two kilometers are the same, and every twist in the trail feels like a secret waiting to be found. Once we hit the loop section, things get much quieter. This part of the park sees very few visitors as human footprints give way to moose tracks, and the rustling in the brush might just be one of the many beavers that call this area home. Though the total elevation gain is relatively modest (about 260 m over the whole route), the trail’s difficulty comes from its remoteness, terrain, and ever-changing conditions. That said, for those willing to take it on, the reward is huge: sweeping views, total solitude, an unfiltered experience of Ontario’s boreal beauty... and a well-earned sense of pride by the time we make it back to the trailhead. ***Secret Location*** This is one of Wilderness Union's 'secret' hikes. As a group, we visit some truly special spots that are undiscovered by the wider world. We like to keep them pristine and only share them among our members- we ask that you do the same! We reveal the location to registered members in the days before the trip. **Accessibility** Wilderness Union is committed to making our adventures as accessible as possible. If you wish to make an accommodation request relating to a disability or provide feedback, please do so by sending an email to info@wildernessunion.com **Highlights** **Untouched Wilderness:** Step into a landscape that feels frozen in time; wild, windswept, and wonderfully remote. Just you, the forest, and the sound of your boots on the trail. **Wildlife Spotting:** Bears, moose, beavers and loons are just some of the creatures that call this area home. You'll have a chance to spot some from a safe distance for a magical encounter. **Beaver Dam Crossings:** The area we're visiting is shaped by beavers. Tiptoe across nature’s original bridges- muddy, meticulously built, and surprisingly sturdy **Event cost: $60+HST. $50 optional transport also available. Please register [here.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/wilder-loop-fall-26)** **About Wilderness Union** Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people. Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad. Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming! ***Learn more at our website [www.wildernessunion.com](https://www.wildernessunion.com/)***

🍁 **The Fall Colours of Brickworks (Thanksgiving Walk)** 🍂 Celebrate Thanksgiving with a scenic fall walk through Toronto’s ravines as we make our way to **Evergreen Brick Works**. Along the way, enjoy the crisp autumn air, brilliant fall colours, and a peaceful escape from the city. We’ll spend about **30 minutes exploring the Brick Works**, taking in its history, trails, and unique setting before heading back through **Mount Pleasant Cemetery** — one of Toronto’s largest and oldest cemeteries, with plenty of history and beautiful seasonal scenery. For those who’d like to keep the day going, we’ll finish with a cozy **Thanksgiving lunch at Swiss Chalet**. Their seasonal special is expected to be around **$18.29 plus tax and tip** and includes stuffing, cranberry sauce, your choice of side, a roll, and a slice of pie — a pretty good way to finish a Thanksgiving walk! 🦃🥧 📱 Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** *** ### Meetup Details 📍 **Meetup Location:** I will be standing outside of ST.

In the 1990s, the former quarry was restored by the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, transforming the site into the natural and cultural destination we know today. Opened to the public in 1996, Evergreen Brick Works now combines history, nature, wildlife, and trails in the heart of Toronto’s ravine system. In autumn, the surrounding landscape comes alive with reds, oranges, and golds, making it one of the city's great places to enjoy the fall colours. *** ✨ **Not sure yet? You can just show up on the day!** ⚠️ **Sometimes things happen and I may need to cancel. Please watch for updates before heading out.** 👤 **Organized by Mathew.** For questions, post on the Meetup wall or email **[torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com)**
