Trail detail - The Grouse Grind is steep up trail to Grouse Mountain. If you are not fit, it's not at all for you. Its 2.9km (1.8m) in length, it may be not an issue until you know its taking you to 859meter (2800) feet elevation on your feet. Its about 2830 stairs (as per their site says) and some... More

I used to love doing the Grouse Grind when it was only $5 to ride the gondola down. Since the price was bumped up to $10 per gondola ride, I've stopped going. :(

At the age of 47 I did it for the first time. Wow! Yelled Woo Hoo at the top. Make sure you`ve done some training and watch your knees. I well earned `beer`at the top was our reward.

I challenge you do hike Grind. Sure it starts off well, not too difficult with generous amounts of room to place your feet. It gets steeper, and steeper and steeper. You will be treading over slabs, rocks, roots, just plain dirt, wood and logs. When you stop to catch your breath and regain the feeling in your legs don't forget... More

I had always wanted to do The Grind, but never did until friends and decide once and for all we were going to do it. I am glad we did. It is a deceiving hike. At the base you think it is going to be a piece of cake and then the challenge builds as you ascend the mountain. Once... More

A growing favorite among locals, this challenging hike straight up Grouse Mountain attracts all shapes and sizes.Extremely grueling and punishing, come prepared with water and proper shoes. Dress shoes don't cut it, and every "Grinder" has chuckled in amazement at the oddballs trekking up in their best clothes. Hint-start slow even though you think its easy. It is easy at... More

Be sure to wear decent shoes, carry water and be prepared to be pushed on from the walkers behind you. I put extra tops in the car because you will need them to change into after the walk. You need to be fairly fit to do this walk and, if you haven't done it befre be prepared to spend close... More

not for the faint of heart, you must be in good shape to do the grind. best to do early in the morning as it gets very busy. Not much more you can do for a fantastic workout in an hour or less. Get ready to sweat!
