      Toronto, the capital of the province of Ontario, is a major Canadian city along Lake Ontario’s northwestern shore. It's a dynamic metropolis with a core of soaring skyscrapers, all dwarfed by the iconic, free-standing CN Tower. Toronto also has many green spaces, from the orderly oval of Queen’s Park to 400-acre High Park and its trails, sports facilities and zoo.

      Located in the heart of Toronto, the Don Valley offers a wide assortment of trail opportunities. With trails ranging from wide-open single track, to ravine-wall expert trails, to tight man-made TTFs, the Don has something for every level of mountain biker.
