Having visited the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, out guided tour then took us up to the Grove Mountain Ski Area. We rode the Mountain Skyride for access to the top and found it all a great experience. At the top, we were able to purchase lunch (even if the prices seemed over the top) but wandered around to enjoy the views overlooking Vancouver as well as visit the 2 grizzly bears kept up there and went to the free lumber jack show which was entertaining with a real comedy theme running through it. Added to the morning trip to Capilano Park it made for a very good outing.

We had the most amazing time on Grouse Mountain. The gondola is an experience, you have to be prepared to be crammed in. We went to the first Birds of Prey show for the season, so the birds weren't allowed to fly, but they are quite majestic anyway. Seeing the young Grizzly Bears there was incredible. You can get reasonably close, if and when they come out. It was really cold up there, so you must be rugged up.

I was a little apprehensive about getting onto the sky ride but knew if I didn’t, that it was a two hour strenuous walk up to the top!. It was exceptionally smooth and lots of photo opportunities. It does be fairly busy and you can also get your tickets online, remember to state if you a pensioner and if you are from Vancouver it will be cheaper still!.

Good day out with spectacular views of Vancouver. Took the Skyride to the top and the skilift to the very summit for the most amazing views of the city and the surrounding area. Watched the Lumberjack show which was a good show. The only thing I didn't like was the grizzly bear area, I don't really like to see animals in cages but that's a personal thing.
