About us
Our purpose is to have frequent, casual, energetic hiking events that fit easily into busy lives. Many of our hikes range from 5km to 10km, within 1.5 to 2 hours. We stick (mostly) to established well-groomed trails so we can keep the pace lively. Sometimes we breathe hard climbing and descending large hills challenging ourselves. We enjoy nature, watching the seasons change and embracing the additional challenge this brings. Besides all the physical benefits hiking provides, we aim to have fun, enjoy good conversation while building friendships along the way.
There will usually be a few hikes per week, somewhere around Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax, Uxbridge, Oshawa and Bowmanville. We'll often have weekend hikes that are a little longer (sometimes MUCH longer) and sometimes travel much further if there's an adventure to be had.
Also see our current Rules and Liability Waiver as part of your participation.
That's about it! If you have any questions, please contact somebody in the leadership team.

Rouge National Park
Rouge National Urban Park Twyn Rivers Drive, 96 Twyn Rivers Dr, Scarborough, on, CAOur group will leave at the posted time, so please arrive early. Please cancel your RSVP if you can't make it.
How fast, how far? Assume 4.5 km/h for a distance of ~7.75 km. The terrain is hilly, and we'll be going fast with few breaks. The route is a couple of loops, so we will finish where we originally start from, and there will be an opportunity to only do half of the route for those that find it difficult.
Bring water, and wear good hiking/trail shoes or boots.
