THE WALKER WOODS DOUBLE LOOP

The Walker Woods hike takes place on the Oak Ridges Moraine which was formed when a glacier retreated 10,000 to 12,000 years ago leaving behind a massive ridge.  This multi-use trail network provides users with a great variety of loop alternatives with significant natural heritage features and breathtaking vistas.  This is not a difficult trail but sections can be icy and proper footwear including crampons style icers are strongly recommended.


Distance:  11 km

Route:  https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35023145

Pace:       Moderate (~3.5 km/hr)

Terrain:     Moderate - rocky with hills and/or poor footing.   PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WINTER HIKING IS DIFFERENT THAN FALL HIKING AND YOU NEED TO PREPARE ACCORDINGLY.  Proper footwear including crampon style icers are strongly recommended.  Please make sure that you are capable physically of doing this hike.

Parking is at a premium so please do not be late and find yourself scrambling for a parking spot.  I have not checked this year but last year parking at this site was 6.00.  Please carpool if possible.
