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.

Announcements

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.
Wednesday November 5 Continued: Next weekend we hike to Dundas Peak & Tews Falls with Carole Pyke. This hike starts from the point we reached two weeks ago when Carol took us to Borer's Falls.
Wednesday November 5: Due to a medical crisis, we had to cancel last Sunday's hike to Forks of the Credit. We were able to cancel the hike on Meetup, but we had no access to email or the website. We apologize. The intended hike leader is home from the hospital.
Thursday October 24: Sunday's hike is Borer's Falls near Waterdown, with hike leader Carol Pyke.
Wednesday October 9: For the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend, we go back to hiking on Sunday. We are doing Long Sault with hike leader Howard Gibson.
Wednesday October 2: This weekend's hike is to Singhampton Caves with hike leader Andy Hueton. This trip is a long drive, most of the way to Collingwood, so we are doing some things differently. The hike is on Saturday, rather than Sunday, and we will be departing Old York Mills Road at 9:00am, not our usual 10:00am. This hike is rated at Level 3 in technical difficulty. You need hiking boots for this one.
Wednesday September 25: Sunday's hike is to Humber Valley Heritage Trail with hike leader Bohdan Bilyj. This one is going twenty kilometres, so you want to be in shape.
Wednesday September 18: We are approaching a weekend of fantastic hiking weather. We are headed to Grindstone Falls with hike leader Carol Pyke. The parking lot at the trail head at Grindstone is tiny. The fewer cars we bring, the better. Let's carpool from Old York Mills Road.
Wednesday September 11: We are looking forward to a weekend of fantastic hiking weather. We will do this at Scotsdale Farm with hike leader Katia Desz. We are working on our fall schedule. We will resume car pooling at Old York Mills Road.
Sunday September 3: We're back! You probably have been relaxing all summer, and you are going to have to get those hiking muscles back in shape. Crothers Woods in the Don Valley should get the job done. This is accessible by Toronto Transit. We will meet at the trailhead at 10:45am. There will be no-one at Old York Mills Road. We are working on our fall schedule.

Old News -- this runs on quite a bit.
