Description
Enthusiastic writer, performer and radio columnist "Hiker Mike" Kirby takes us along as he explores the best and most unusual hiking trails in and around the geographically disparate Metro Toronto area, encountering all manner of weather and wildlife, history and happenstance, artifact and architecture. A founding member of the Urban Sherpas, Kirby delights in both the energy of the city and the serenity of nature. Eighty-eight hikes within an hour of Toronto, how to get there, where to park, what you'll find along the trail, where to stop for lunch or libation, and how to get home. Includes Hiker Mike's coveted "Secret Map of All Toronto Hikes."
