What we’re about
Welcome to Mix and Mingle Walks! This walking group will offer over 50 different walking trailers in all parts of Toronto. We are a walking group that is more on the leisure side as we don't walk to slow or too fast. We are open to anyone that loves to walk, that wants to walk more and to get more exercise. This group is for those that want to meet other members as they are walking. I hope by the event of the walk, you have met a new friends or something more. We also respect people's wishes, we never reach out to any members that we have not met or have not asked to be reaches to.
This group is open to everyone and anyone on Meetup.
Toronto has many different trails ravines, City neighborhood, parks, walking paths and hiking trails. We will be one of the busiest and diverse walking group on Meetup. Toronto is one of the greenest cities in the world. We are a friendly and easy going group that believes everyone will be treated with respect. All events we be transit accessible.

🍂 Crothers Woods Fall Hike & Ice Cream Treat! 🍦
Broadview Station, 769 Broadview Avenue, Toronto, ON, CA## 🍂 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!

🍁🎄Fall Niagara Falls Hiking Day Trip — Trails, Dinner & Festival of Lights!!
Fairmont Royal York, 100 Front Street West, Toronto, ON, CA## 🍁🎄 Fall Niagara Falls Hiking Trip + Winter Festival of Lights!
🌦️ Rain or Shine!
The adventure goes on — whether it’s golden sunshine, crisp autumn air, or a little mist from the Falls (it is Niagara, after all!).***
🥾 About the Trip
Let’s escape the city for a full fall day of fresh air, friendship, and breathtaking scenery! We’ll explore the natural side of Niagara Falls — less tourist traps, more trails, trees, and pure wonder.
We’ll meet outside the Fairmont Royal York (Front St. W) in the morning, hop on the GO Train, and head to Niagara Glen Nature Reserve for an afternoon hike among ancient boulders and the turquoise waters of the Niagara River.
This hike includes stairs (about three flights) and uneven terrain — so bring your comfy hiking shoes or sturdy runners (flip-flops will cry).***
🌲 The Trail Experience
The Niagara Glen is a hidden gem — carved out of the gorge thousands of years ago. We’ll follow winding forest paths, stop for photos, and take in the beauty of fall leaves glowing against the mighty river.
It’s about 4 km total, with lots of opportunities to pause, chat, and soak in the view.***
🍔 Dinner & Cozy Evening
After the hike, we’ll head to Chuck’s Roadhouse on Clifton Hill for a relaxed dinner (everyone pays for their own meal).
It’s friendly, affordable, and always buzzing after a big day outdoors.
Then, bundle up — because the night’s about to get magical. 🌟***
🎇 Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights!
After dinner, we’ll stroll down to the Falls for the Winter Festival of Lights, one of Ontario’s most spectacular seasonal events.
The parkway comes alive with millions of glowing lights, whimsical installations, and the natural mist of the Falls sparkling in colour. It’s pure magic — the perfect way to end a perfect fall day.
This is a relaxed, social evening — take photos, grab a hot drink, and enjoy the glow.***
