Advanced Hiking Toronto

This hike goes through the main ones and some hidden spots. The focus will be on cheap or reasonably-priced places.

From No Such Thing As Bad Weather Walking & Hiking Group!

### 🌿 North Humber River Walk – 6th Annual! 🌿 We’re back for our **sixth year in a row** with this incredible walk — and it has become a true fan favourite! The North Humber River trail is one of Toronto’s most peaceful and nature-filled walks. It’s a longer walk, but that’s part of what makes it so rewarding. You’ll get out of the city, follow the river, explore beautiful natural areas, and see just how far you can go when you give yourself the chance. This walk is about challenging yourself just a little — you'd be surprised how far you can go! If you don't want to complete the entire walk, that's totally okay. You can leave along the way, and I can help you find the nearest way back toward public transit. We'll finish with a quick stop at Tim Hortons before heading back toward Kipling Station. ### 📲 Stay Connected Don't forget to join our **WhatsApp Group – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc)** It's a great way to get updates, connect with other members, and stay informed about the event. *** ### *** ### 📍 Meetup Details 🕙 **Meetup Time:** 10:00 AM 🚌 **Bus leaves:** 10:06 AM sharp 📍 **Meetup Spot:** In front of the Information Booth at Kipling Subway Station Bus Terminal 🫎 Look for Mathew in the Moose Hat! 🚌 **Bus:** 927B Highway 27 Express to Steeles via Humber College ⚠️ **PLEASE BE ON TIME.** If you miss the bus, you will miss the group.

Don Valley Ravine Trail Hike

Sat, Sep 5, 2:00 PM

From No Such Thing As Bad Weather Walking & Hiking Group!

Don Valley Ravines are peaking in beauty now especially with Fall approaching. You will also get some good exercise. It more an intermediate hike. Lets get another good turn out. After of course the we will visit the very nice outdoors Farmers Market. If there is enough interest after the hike, we can walk to nearby Yorkville and go to Kupfert and Kim vegan cafe/ restaurant. And after that maybe we can go to the nearby Indigo Bookstore and play their nice piano which I would do and anyone else. That sounds like a nice way to start out Saturday. Be sure to bring water and some snacks. I find apples to be very good for hikes. We meet at Sherborne Station at 10 am. Please be on time as hikers like to get on the trails early.

There are no major hills or difficult terrain, but you'll want comfortable shoes and enough energy for the full route. *** ## 🍂 Fall Is the Best Time to Do This Walk There's something particularly nice about this trail in the fall. The air is cooler, the leaves are changing, and the open stretches of the trail give you plenty of room to slow down and enjoy the season.

Caves, Cliffs, and Crevices: The Duncan Caves Loop

Sat, Sep 12, 11:30 AM

**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/duncan-caves)** **Join us as we head to the Duncan escarpment to explore some incredible ‘crevice’ or ‘fracture’ caves, created over thousands of years through a mixture of glacial movement, extreme temperatures and the raw force of gravity.** We start the hike through open farmland and meadow before the ground tilts up and we climb onto the escarpment itself. From there, most of the day is spent walking along the escarpment and through the forest that grows right up to the cliff edge and spill over its exposed rock. We will then descend into the caves, with some being over 30 metres deep. You will be scrambling in some places, working your way down and through one of the more unique pieces of trail anywhere in Ontario. From the caves, the trail climbs back along the escarpment edge through mature forest, with a stretch of cliff top that opens up into views out over the valley below. We drop back down and loop through the same mix of field and forest that opened the day. **Parking is extremely limited at the trailhead, so we recommend taking transport for this adventure.** ‍ **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](mailto:info@wildernessunion.com) **Highlights** **The Crevice Caves:** A gorge over 30 metres deep, formed by rock shifting off the escarpment face. **Cliff Top Views:** A stretch of trail along the escarpment edge showing off open views over the valley. **Farmland to Forest:** Open farm fields give way straight into escarpment forest. **Event cost: $60+HST (for explorer members) - $40 optional transport available.** **Register [here.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/duncan-caves)** **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/)***
