Occasional Toronto: Cool In The Ravine

Cool In The Ravine

Even on the hottest days of summer if you go down into one of the many ravines that run through the city it will be refreshingly cool. A lot of them such as this one have nice paths making it easy to run, walk, or ride a bike and of course to walk your dog. This particular ravine has a nasty swampy area that the dogs seem to love to get into!
