🌅🌊 SUMMER EVENING WALK OF THE TORONTO ISLANDS (9KM) 🌊🌅

🌅🌊 SUMMER EVENING WALK OF THE TORONTO ISLANDS (9KM) 🌊🌅 Sunset Views, Island Paths & Toronto's Best Skyline There is something magical about the Toronto Islands in the evening. As the city begins to slow down, the islands come alive with golden light, cool lake breezes, and some of the most spectacular views in Toronto. It feels like you've escaped the city without ever leaving it. Join us for a relaxed summer evening walk across the T Toronto Islands as we explore Hanlan's Point, Centre Island, and Ward's Island while enjoying beaches, open green spaces, charming cottages, and breathtaking skyline views. The Toronto Islands have a fascinating history. Originally connected to the mainland as a long sandbar peninsula, a powerful storm in 1858 permanently separated the land from Toronto, creating the islands we know today. Over the years they've been home to amusement parks, summer cottages, beaches, and the unique island community that still exists today on Ward's Island. This is not a formal historical tour. It's a social walk with beautiful scenery, fresh air, and great conversation. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) *** 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll take the ferry together to Hanlan's Point and begin our walk across the islands. Our route will take us through: 🌊 Hanlan's Point 🌳 Centre Island 🏡 Ward's Island 📸 Multiple skyline viewpoints 🏖️ Beaches and waterfront paths We'll stop throughout the evening to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and soak in one of Toronto's most beautiful summer experiences. As the sun begins to set, we'll enjoy some of the best views of the city skyline anywhere in Toronto. Feel free to bring a snack or something small to share. You're welcome to leave at any time or stay and explore after the walk. *** ☀️ Weather & Expectations This event will happen in typical summer weather conditions. That means warm temperatures, sunshine, clouds, or light rain. The islands are often cooler and breezier than downtown Toronto, especially later in the evening, so bringing a light sweater or jacket is recommended. The only reason we would cancel is for severe weather or thunderstorms. Also — this is NOT a guided historical tour. I'll share bits of history throughout the walk, but the focus is social connection and enjoying the islands together. *** 🧢 Meetup Details 📍 Meetup Location: Inside the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal beside the bathrooms 🫎 I'll be wearing my Moose Hat ⏰ Meetup Time: 6:30 PM 🚢 Ferry Departure: 6:45 PM (Hanlan's Point Ferry) PLEASE BE ON TIME. 🚢 Ferry Return: 9:45 PM Once we're on the ferry, it will be very difficult to catch up with the group. 🎟️ Ferry Ticket: (Insert Current Fare) You must purchase your ticket before arriving.

A "Secret" Beach, Mud Obstacles, and Camel Bladders: Join Us.

High Park Hikers, We are headed to The Beaches **Sunday, July 19th**. Before you say, *"We’ve all lived in Toronto since the dawn of time and been there a million times,"* hear me out. *Au contraire!* Have you ever been to the secret waterfront stretch heading toward the Scarborough Bluffs? I thought not. Prepare to be thrilled, amazed, and profoundly grateful you aren't sitting at home on your... well, you know what. Here are the gritty details: **📍 The Route & Logistics** * **The Start:** We’ll kick things off at the **Glen Stewart Ravine trailhead** (a hidden gem in its own right). * **The Distance:** Roughly **10 km, point-to-point** (Note: This is *not* a loop). * **The Return Plan:** Because it’s a linear hike, we have options to get back to the cars: * **TTC:** $3.35 adult / $2.30 senior. * **Uber:** \~$16 (easily split between three people). * **The Long Way:** You *could* walk back along the main road, but it’s blaringly loud, busy, and completely unrecommended. It turns the day into a 16.6 km trek. I did it once so you don't have to. Trust me on this one. **🥾 Gear & Trail Conditions** * **Footwear:** This is a **hiking boots** kind of day. Waterproof ones are highly recommended. * **The Obstacles:** Expect mud and water. Unless you possess a freakishly long stride, you have three choices: convince your partner to give you a piggyback ride, accept wet feet, or just embrace the sand. * **Difficulty:** We'll encounter some tricky rocks and Level 3 terrain in portions. It's a fun challenge, but nothing to fear. (And no, despite being a beach hike, bikinis are strictly optional). **🌲 Amenities (or Lack Thereof)** * **Washrooms:** Nada. Zero. Zip. * If "answering the call of nature" *in* nature poses a problem, please plan accordingly. As some of you have witnessed, I have to stop occasionally. That said, I've noticed a few people in this group possess the bladder capacity of a camel, which is genuinely impressive. Teach me your ways. **🕒 Rendezvous Details** * **Time:** 9:30 AM sharp. * **Location:** 796 Kingston Rd, Toronto (Carpooling encouraged!). * **Exact Spots:** * [Google Maps Coordinates](https://www.google.com/maps/place/796+Kingston+Rd,+Toronto,+ON+M4E+1R7/@43.6801861,-79.295438,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89d4cc1ce1702e57:0xa6bac5a92b3f9383!8m2!3d43.6801861!4d-79.2932493) * [What3Words: ///rewarded.waddled.passage](https://what3words.com/rewarded.waddled.passage) Yogis are welcome to greet the morning with a sun salutation at the water’s edge. Don’t let your summer mileage fall off the radar—being outside is great, and this hike will definitely *peak* your interest. **RSVP now and join me.**

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.
