Advanced Hiking Toronto

The Queen Hike (18 km anniversary hike)

**Attendance policy is enforced for this hike**. See below for details. To celebrate our anniversary, we're hiking the entire length of Queen Street. Since Queen Street is *only* 14.3 km, we're continuing along the lakeshore to Etobicoke. Incidentally, this is the shortest route possible between Scarborough and Etobicoke. Queen Street runs through some of the most iconic neighbourhoods in Toronto: idyllic The Beaches, hip Leslieville, sketchy Moss Park, historic Old Town, bohemian West Queen West, and shabby chic Parkdale. The route buzzes with activity and attractions. And more importantly, acclaimed restaurants and bakeries featuring food from six continents. You need to be in decent shape and have a good appetite to do the entire route. However, as with other hikes, you are free to join and leave at any point. Those who walk the entire length of Queen St (Fallingbrook Rd to Roncesvalles Ave) will be eligible to buy a commemorative T-shirt (expected price \~$23). There are different dinner options at the end of the hike. 1. Modern Chinese. [Reserve your spot at Tis Two Cities](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/events/315259938/). 2. Asado (grilled steaks and meats): [Reserve your spot at Vos Restaurante Argentino](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/events/315260441/). 3. Panuzzo and pizza at San Vito's Bakery. Walk-in. 4.

Since we're a big group, you can pick between the north and south sides of Queen St to walk. The map shows which side has better food and attractions but the other side may have interesting stuff too. We're walking westwards in the afternoon, so bring sun protection. **How it works** Hike starts punctually. Late or can't join at the beginning? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints. We'll browse many food places but won't linger long. Grab ready-made food, or see the route in advance, organize takeout, then pickup along the way. The end of the hike is the only time when we can enjoy a leisurely meal. **Attendance policy** Please check in with an organizer when you arrive. 24 hours before the hike, we'll note down who is on the confirmed list. Those that don't show up will be marked as no-show. Repeat offenders will be banned. Please change your RSVP if you can no longer attend. If you got off the waitlist less than 24 hours before the event, you won't be considered a no-show.

Hiking in High Park

This will be an unstructured event with low key socializing as we move through the park. What to bring: water and sun protection. Wear running shoes or hiking boots. If it’s raining, the event will be rescheduled. **When**: 4pm **Where to meet**: Just inside the Bloor street entrance to the park, near the High Park map. If you’re coming from the subway: • walk south on High Park Avenue • Cross Bloor Street West to enter the park • As you enter, there is a fork in the road. Keep to the right (West road) • [Just past the entrance on your right, there is a map of the park with a bench.](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kFJjHj393J39XDVw6) • We will gather near the map, on the grass. Note: Give yourself sufficient travel time. We'll wait for about 10 to 15 minutes then head off down the West Road. Once we enter the ravine, it will be hard to find us. Join us as we enjoy the summer weather, catch up with old friends, and make new ones. see you there.

Join us as we explore the recently completed **East Don Trail**—one of the city's newest and most exciting additions to Toronto's incredible ravine system.

If you've done the Lower Don Trail, this is a completely different experience. Think quieter trails, beautiful river views, brand-new pathways, and the feeling of discovering somewhere new. Most of the route is paved and easy to walk, making it perfect for a relaxed day outdoors. Just one warning... what goes down must come up! 😄 The final section includes one fairly steep hill, so while the walk is suitable for most people, you should be comfortable tackling a good climb at the end.

Sunnybrook - Don River ADVANCED Hike 🌻

Chasing Hilton Falls: A Summertime Hike

**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/hilton-summer)** **Hilton Falls is one of the best hiking spots close to Toronto, and we’ll be heading there with the crew to take it all in!** The route blends two very different trail personalities into one amazing adventure. The Beaver Dam Trail is wide and relaxed, threading past active beaver ponds and along the Niagara escarpment. If we’re lucky, we may see some of these incredible creatures at work. From there, we move on to the Hilton Falls Side Trail, which becomes a more technical, Bruce Trail singletrack with rocks and roots that make you pay attention to where you’re stepping, along with beautiful views from atop the escarpment. The waterfall is the centrepiece of this hike: a 10 metres fixture that flows over a rocky ledge into a pool flanked by the stone ruins of three 19th-century sawmills. It's one of the better pieces of trail-accessible industrial history anywhere close to the city. Good company, good trails, and an unforgettable day. See you there! **Highlights** **Hilton Falls:** A 10-metre drop over the Escarpment edge, framed by the stone ruins of three 19th-century sawmills. **Beaver Ponds:** Active beaver ponds and wetlands along a tributary of Sixteen Mile Creek. Move quietly and you might spot reptiles, amphibians, and a lot of beaver handiwork up close. **Close to the City:** Our Trailhead sits less than an hour from downtown Toronto. **Event cost: $50+HST (for explorer members) - $40 optional transport available.** **Register [here.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/hilton-summer)** **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/)***

🌿🌳 SUMMER EVENING WALK: GUS HARRIS TRAIL 🌳🌿

# 🌿🌳 SUMMER EVENING WALK: GUS HARRIS TRAIL 🌳🌿 **A Hidden Ravine, Easy Walking & Great Conversation** Sometimes the best parts of Toronto are the ones most people drive right past. Join us for a relaxed summer evening walk along the Gus Harris Trail, one of Toronto's hidden ravine trails that follows the peaceful Taylor-Massey Creek through Scarborough and East York. This isn't a challenging hike—it's an easy, mostly flat walk that's perfect for anyone looking to enjoy nature, get some fresh air, and spend an evening with great people. The real purpose of the walk isn't simply reaching the end of the trail. It's creating the space to slow down, have conversations, meet new people, and enjoy a few hours away from the busyness of everyday life. Along the way we'll follow the creek, enjoy the shade of the ravine, and discover one of Toronto's quieter green spaces that many people never even realize exists. ✨ **Fun Fact:** Taylor-Massey Creek is named after two prominent Toronto families. The Taylor family owned the famous Don Valley Brick Works, now known as Evergreen Brick Works—one of Toronto's most successful environmental revitalization projects. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) *** ## 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll spend about two hours enjoying an easy walk along the trail, taking our time, chatting, and getting to know one another.
