My other main hobby is hiking. I belong to two major hiking associations here in Ontario -- The Bruce Trail Conservancy and the Oak Ridges Trail Association.
I love exploring our Niagara Escarpment and Oak Ridges Moraine on these trails, as well as several other areas surrounding Toronto. Also really like Algonquin Park & other provincial/national parks. There's nothing like escaping from the city, heading off into the country, and disappearing off on a trail network for a couple hours. I enjoy the scenery, the escape, relaxation aspect of this, exercise, local/pioneer history as well as simply enjoying nature (the various trees/wildflowers/plants, geology, glacial landforms, etc.).
There's a great greenbelt surrounding Toronto partly formed by the Niagara Escarpment area (to the West), Oak Ridges Moraine (to the North) and various river valleys (to the East).
Other related hobbies to this, that I enjoy, are: camping, backwoods camping and canoeing.
Cheers,
