Visitors flock to Grouse Mountain on Vancouver’s North Shore throughout the year; they ski in the winter, hike in the summer and sightsee year-round. This was the area’s first ski mountain and its ski runs overlook the metropolis.
Skating rinks and sleigh rides are also available. In the summer, hikers have a variety of trails to choose from; the one most boast about is the Grouse Grind, a 1.8 mile hike straight up the 3700 peak…thus the ‘grind’! Cyclists can enjoy the bike trails on the backside of the mountain. You’ll get an incredible view and more entertainment via the Skyride gondola, an easy 8-miute ride to the top.
A high-definition aerial film called Theater in the Sky can be viewed; several restaurants with a panoramic view are open throughout the year, making it an obvious choice for a special night out with those you most enjoy.
