MarkAugust 26, 2015It'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).
Nicole RovigJuly 7, 2019Awesome 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!
KyleJune 5, 2019Great workout, nice view front the top. Some activities to do at the top also. Gondola ride $15 down to the end.
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 ;)
Nabil BazzariSeptember 30, 2013Amazing 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
- Jeremy BeasleyJuly 31, 2017Great 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.
Gaston Motola AcunaSeptember 26, 2017Awesome place for hiking, relaxing, having food and drinks, and skiing in the winter. Great views of Vancouver as well.
David HledikOctober 14, 2015this 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!
Jaimie Lee RohrbachAugust 24, 2014After grinding the mountain, enjoy the setting with a poutine. Plus, you'll maybe have the chance to see a bear if it's your lucky day.
Social News NetworkNovember 30, 2013Whether 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!- Andra NicoaraAugust 22, 2013Make 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 ;)
flyflyaway ...January 15, 2018Can take the cable car for scenic lookout. Keep ticket for a $2.00 discount if you visit the Capilano Bridge.
Arthur MitchellJuly 9, 2018Amazing views on the city of Vancouver and suburbs. We had a clear view of Mt Baker and Rainier.
David GCJune 25, 2011Great 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.- Cleiton Caco MafraJune 25, 2016It was one of the best hiking in North Vancouver!!! Amazing place, magic!!!
高手놀리밑™October 3, 2016Walk up.. it's good for you and saves you the expensive return ticket (only $10 to go down)
Eric PerreaultAugust 24, 2011Try the Grouse Grind trail, it's tough but it really worths the effort! You'll be proud to be up there! And... your effort will save you 30$! Spend only 10$ to get back down with the Gondola.
Moe ShehataDecember 10, 2016I live grouse mountain. I breathe grouse. Snowboarding is just great there !!
- 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.
MarvinJuly 27, 2016If you are capable, do the Grouse Grind. A very memorable way to remember Vancouver and it's mountains.- Alexa (@ladylexy) AndrzejewskiJune 29, 2015Beautiful views, gondola ride and great photo ops. Worth the 3000-foot climb.

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
NataDecember 9, 2013There is not any women`s snowboard boot in rental !!! They only have men`s boot, so if you have small foot, your foot will be like a pencil in a glass!- Moe ShehataFebruary 8, 2016Grouse mountain is always prone to high winds and so on, and even if you snowboard for like an hour, they would not give you your ticket back.
Take the Grind for 60 minutes of hard-core cardio ... about 3000 steps straight up.
Sophie SJanuary 30, 2013Gets pretty foggy on the ski runs some days, check the webcam on their website before you head up!
Mint H.December 6, 2011Some people told me this is the best place for skiing and snowboarding for novice and beginner. (I've never ski Sorry)

The Grouse Grind is free to hike up but it's called the grind for a reason. It costs $10 to take Gondola down. Round trip Gondola is $44.74 as of December 2012.
TristenFebruary 11, 2013Avoid the long line up at the bistro and cafe. Go to the Rusty Rail BBQ. Outdoor patio with beer and poutine.
