Members and non-members welcome. Pre-registration is mandatory 

Non-members are asked to contact (text or call) the hike leader before 6 PM the day before to determine if this hike is suitable for you. 

~16km, 4.5hrs; mod to fast pace (4.5 - 5km per hr) on mostly flat terrain, much of it on paved paths. This will be a there-and-back hike, starting from the bottom of Port Union Road heading west to the University of Toronto, Scarborough campus. We will follow the Waterfront and Highland Creek trails to the university grounds.  

This campus is home to about 50 Sakura trees gifted to U of T Scarborough in 2005 and planted as a symbol of friendship between Japan and Ontario.  Blossoms will hopefully be close to or just past peak.  This will be your opportunity to have lunch, enjoy the blossoms, and take photos  

Bring water and a snack/lunch.   Check the weather before leaving home and dress accordingly  

We will meet in the free parking lot at the bottom/south end of Port Union Road adjacent to the Port Union Village Common Park and the Waterfront Trail. 

NO dogs.

Arrive at 9:15a.m. for 9:30am start.
