I go hiking all the time... love just getting out into nature and forgetting all about the depressing urban enviroment.

Since your in S. Ontario I'd recommend hitting things like the Bruce Trail (sure it's got lots of tourists and crap, but only in the sections by roads), Niagara Escarpment, or anywhere on the Bruce Pennisula (got some cool caves too). However if you ever get the chance E. Ontario or Algonquin Park have a lot of great trails through some rugged terrain...

One day I'll get myself a GPS, but for now it's just a map and compass...
