Crothers Woods and Sun Valley are popular escapes into nature with some spectacular views of the Toronto skyline. This unique forest attracts diverse birds species and is known as a beech-maple-oak climax forest within the city. Many of the trees in Crothers Woods’ 52-hectare mature maple-beech-oak woodland are more than a century old!

This is a short but moderately challenging urban hike. Lots of uphills and dowhills and uneven terrain. It's a a favorite trail of mountain bikers, so be prepared to say hello and dodge all those bikers in the trail. Hiking shoes are a must.

Let's Hike T.O. is a hiking community open to everyone with a focus on newcomers, people of colour, and young adults aged 20-40. All are welcome on our walks!
