It's steep at $60 a person, but worth paying the extra 15 bucks for the ultimate pass so you get the most out of the summit. Go early before 10am to avoid the crowds (and pack a jumper).
Awesome hike! Two hours, 2600 feet elevation. Save money by packing your own lunch and hiking up. It’s $15 a person to ride down; buy tickets at the top. Lumberjack show is a must!
Grouse grind is always a fun thing to do in summer... So many stairs, but a rewarding scene is awaiting you at the top... Leave the gondola for the tourists ;)
Amazing scenery from top of this mountain over Vancouver. So much to do up there. Before going back down on the telefrik make sure to view the sunset from the outdoor patio of the restaurant
Great trip. So much to explore on the mountain. Worth a day trip...or two. You can check out zip lining, helicopter tours or just hike trails. Will definitely come back.
this place captured my heart. No1 and "must see" if you are in Van. Grouse Grind up during the day, enjoy the view, get some food, walk around and wait until the Van's lights turn on. gorgeous!!!
Most of the staff aren't aware of the snowshoe trails in detail. Head left at the pond past the cat tracks and look for the orange circles saying "SSG". Follow those to the top!
Whether it's for handsome men in flannel, axe-throwing, wood-carving action or both, the Lumberjack Show is brilliant. Just don't get caught without enough layers when that misty mountain fog sets in!
Make sure you check out the lumberjack show, it's really cool! Also, if you're a girl and you wanna join them in a number take a seat up front,close to the stairs ;)
Great Place for skiing in the winter, ideal for hiking in the summer and autumm.. Awesome view of the city. Try the Roast beef sandwich and an apple juice at the restaurant.
Try the Grouse Grindtrail, it's tough but it really worths the effort! You'll be proud to be up there! And... your effort will save you 30$! Spend only 10$ to get back down with the Gondola.
In the Men's washroom the first sink has n'ice cold water from the tap which is great to cool down with after a grind! The other sinks are cool to warm.
Try the BCMC trail. It ends up at top like to Grind but you miss the whole weekend warrior crowd and avoid the traffic jam. Take your time --- there's no timer. :) Read more
