High Park Hiking Club

Hiking in the Greater Toronto Area! Each Sunday (mostly) during the spring and fall, we meet to car pool to parks and trails and go hiking. If you want a low impact work-out, fresh air and new people to meet, check us out.

We carpool from Old York Mills Road, usually at 10:00am. Always, always, always check our hike instructions for the latest information.

We are working on our fall schedule. We have a couple of hikes in place already — thank you Carole Pyke. We will continue to organize car pooling over Meetup, as we did last season.
Friday June 20
The website is back up again, and we have hike on for Sunday — Hamilton Waterfalls with Gadi Prager. This will be our last hike for spring 2025. We will resume again in the fall, when hopefully, I will be in better shape.

Things finally are looking up this season. As of 8:00pm, we have ten people booked for Dundas Peak & Tews Falls. The hike leader is Carol Pyke again.

We have a hike this weekend, Bennet Trail, led by Debbie McDermott.
Wednesday May 7
We have a hike for this coming Sunday, Crothers Woods, thanks to Gadi Prager. Check out the driving instructions. We are starting out from True Davidson Drive, not the supermarket parking lot. The hike will start at 10:00am, and end at around 12:30pm. You will have lots of time to do something about Mother's Day. This hike is accessible by transit, as noted in the instructions.

We are working slowly on our schedule. Hike leader Carol Pyke has volunteered for this Sunday — Grindstone Falls, starting from the parking lot in the shopping mall off Dundas.
Thursday April 17
We are working slowly on a schedule, and we have our season opening hike this Sunday, Hilton Falls with hike leader Gadi Prager. This hike starts early, 9:15am at the trailhead, and Gadi anticipates that it will end at around 1:00pm. Until further notice, all hikers must arrange rides over Meetup.
Sunday March 16
We are getting ready to go hiking in Spring 2025. There is nothing yet on our preliminary schedule. Hopefully, things will pick up a bit over the next couple of weeks. The webmaster and hike leader still has medical issues, although he hopes to be hiking in the spring. We will have to organize car-pooling carefully.
