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!

Hike Hard, then Indulge!
Head out on this 10.5-km loop trail near Pickering, Ontario. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, there are several creeks, rivers, ponds, and wetlands along the way, so birders will enjoy seeing many birds, but Herons are especially common.
The southern portion interacts much more with water, so you can expect a more forested hike along the northern sections. Around the 1/3 mark, you will enjoy hiking along the ridge that takes you by the Vista Trail Viewing Platform, which is the showstopper view along the loop.
Highlights include beautiful views, colorful foliage, and varied terrain. Challenges are steep inclines, slippery spots, and muddy areas. Bring sturdy footwear and plenty of water.
