Our foodie group went on a hike last Sunday. We went to Glen Rouge Park which is located off Kingston Road. If you're coming from the city you take the 401 eastbound and get off at the Kingston Rd./Port Union Rd./Highway 2A exit and head eastbound on Kingston Road. The entrance is on the north side of Kingston Road, just past the McDonalds.
Six of us went on the hike - Emily, Gabe, Peter, Fiona, Keith and me. Emily picked me up at my condo and we went over to Fiona's. Keith met us there and we took his car.
Our first stop was at a Shawarma restaurant on Lawrence near Pharmacy where we grabbed a pre-hike bite. Gabe drove Peter and met us there.
The day was nice. It was warm and the skies were blue with a few white clouds. It did become slightly overcast as the day progressed, but, overall it was decent.
The trail was relatively easy. Not physically demanding in any way. Most of it was under the forest canopy. So we were in the shade most of the time.
We actually made it all the way over to Rouge Park off Twyn Rivers Drive, so we hiked there too. I know the trails there quite well as we used to mountain bike them back in the late 90's. They're half in the woods and half in the open.
All-in-all we walked about 9 kilometres in three hours before finishing the day off at an Indian vegetarian restaurant at Woodside Square. Peter ordered a number of dishes for us to share. It was tasty. Though, I have to admit, some of it was a bit on the spicy side... at least for me.
