What To Expect

The Grouse Grind

The active part of our day begin with Vancouver's stairmaster, The Grouse Grind. The Grind is a challenging 2.5km/1.55mile trail that meanders through a forest of towering evergreen trees before climaxing at the top of Grouse Mountain (800m elevation gain). You can't really call yourself a Vancouverite until you've completed this iconic hike. When you reach the top, the payoff is incredible. On a clear day, the views of Vancouver are second to none but regardless of the weather, Grouse Mountain offers something for everyone. The stars of the show are the park's two rescued grizzly bears, Coola and Grinder. Lumberjack and Birds of Prey shows also thrill crowds multiple times each day in the high season (attendance depends on how quickly you complete the hike).Non-hiking option: For those that would rather enjoy even more time at the top, our guides offer discounted tickets on the Grouse Mountain Gondola Skyride.
