Questions people ask

Where can I go hiking near Toronto?

Inside the city: Rouge National Urban Park, the Scarborough Bluffs and the ravines. For a day trip: the Bruce Trail along the Niagara Escarpment. Join a hike posted on HangSimply or post your own.

I don't have a car. Can I still go?

Yes. Many hikes are reachable by TTC or GO. For farther ones, ask in the group chat about carpooling.

How hard are the hikes?

It depends on the post. Hosts say the distance and difficulty, and lots of hikes are easy-going.

Is it safe?

Meet somewhere public, tell a friend where you're going, and trust your gut. On HangSimply the host chooses who joins, the exact spot is only shared with people going, and you can block or report anyone in one tap.
