2013/11/28: Winter hikes

One presentation, one assignment, one exam, one week of seminars and three reading texts left – then the semester is finished. Three days – then the validity of my TTC monthly pass is finished. First assignment and texts or better using the TTC pass first? With today’s sunshine of course using the TTC pass and going to “the city”!

The booklet “Great Country Walks around Toronto” was already helpful when we did the tour to the Scarborough Bluffs three weeks ago and at the bicycle excursion through the Humber Valley. Today, with white snow and blue sky, I hiked through the Cedarvale Ravine (from Eglinton West subway station to St. Clair West subway station) and through the Rosedale ravines. It was quite cold (-7°C when I started in the morning) and the paths were partly icy, but both routes were great - as the pictures hopefully show. Rosedale is by the way one of the most beautiful parts of Toronto. According to my friend Wikipedia, “it is known as the area where the city's 'Old Money' lives, and is home to some of Canada's richest and most famous citizens”.
