What we’re about
This group is for you if you are looking for an EXTREMELY friendly, incredibly diverse group of people to get outdoors with. We don't take our hikes too seriously, but we do hike seriously if you get my drift. You can expect a challenging hike one week, followed by a longer hike the next. I try to mix it up both in and outside the GTA.
We typically hike 3-4 hours every Sunday and explore different trails in and within 1.5 hours of Toronto. When we can, we grab a bite after the hike. While I am the organizer, I tend to get lost so our navigator Mohammed leads the way!
We also throw in a few overnight camping weekends and socials. Be forewarned. We are known for some really good parties and fun socials.
See you on Sunday!

See all- It Feels Like Summer Camp! Weekend away!Mansfield Outdoor Centre, Mansfield, ON
It's a bit like summer camp! After a very fun hike in Mulmur we came across the Mansfield Outddor Centre - 1.5 hours away from Toronto. It feels more like a summer camp but it is close to the city and is close to some good hiking! We will be hiking both Saturday and Sunday!
They offer tent sites and bunkies so we have booked -
1. Two tent sites near a small river - each site can accommodate 5 people - $35. per site per night. (2 tents per site - I will try and see if I can get another site or two)
2. A bunkie for 10 people - $149 for 2 nights divided by 10.
Please update your rsvp and message whether you are tenting or looking for a bunkie. We can accommodate 20 people but if we need more I will try and nab something.

(A note about car pooling - The less cars the better folks. Please help others out by offering a car pool and do not over charge for gas. Alternatively, you can book the train or bus and car pool from Montreal to Mount Tremblant.)
