Directions

From our meeting point at Yonge and York Mills.

  1. Take Highway 401 west to Highway 410. Stay in the collector lanes. There is no connection to Highway 410 from the express lanes.
  2. Go north on Highway 410. This now curves to the west and it picks up Highway 10.
  3. Continue north on Highway 10.
  4. Travel past Regional Road 9, Caledon Family Restaurant, and Forks of the Credit Road.
  5. Turn left (West) at Escarpment Sideroad. This intersection is hard to see, so pay attention.
  6. Park at the corner of Willoughby Road and Escarpment SideRoad, where the road makes a sweeping right hand turn.

The start time is 11:30am. Here is the start point on Google Maps.

The directions have been fixed. Next time, let's start this at 11:15am.

Remarks

We will be hiking from the Willowby/Escarpment and keep the hike high, using all the loops at the top of the hills and not dropping down into the river valley. We should be able to get enough easy mileage out of that. It will be a hot day, so we will try to avoid the steep climbs.
