We’re back for another beautiful fall edition of our North Scarborough Walk and Trails! 🍁
We did this walk last year and everyone loved it — the crisp air, the colourful trees, and of course… the reward at the end: a delicious lunch at Remezzo Italian Bistro! 🍝
I’ve pieced together a few local trails to make our own scenic route — full of fall colours, peaceful paths, and that fresh autumn energy. This is an easy, light walk (but not a slow one!) and should take us about 90 minutes to reach the restaurant.
This walk happens rain or shine — after all, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing! 😉🌧️🧣
