With one group camping up North this weekend, we're also running a local adventure, led by Sarah that's totally accessible by public transport. We're visiting a part of the city that few ever get out to - pretty crazy because it's some of the most picturesque hiking that's close to town. We'll take in ravines, creeks, woods and end up at a graveyard to Toronto monuments for a 15km hike. Know what else you're likely to see? Salmon! Highland Creek gets plenty of them swimming up stream and we'll be visiting at the perfect time

The day starts and ends at at Guildwood Go Station, easily accessible from Exhibition Place and Union. We'll begin the hike by getting up into Highland Creek where we'll follow the river for about 8km, winding our way through parks, ravines and woods. We eventually come out at the waterfront, taking in a couple of incredible views of the lake and city before ending up at Guild Park, home of Toronto's demolished building facades. Walking through the park you'll see the old frontages of once iconic buildings that have now been lost to history.

From there, you can either return by car or get one of the regular Go Trains back to the city.

The hike is a total of 15km with only a modest 120m of elevation.
