Go solo. This allows you to go at your own pace. That way you won't feel pressured to keep up or wait for friends.

Buy an annual sky ride pass and you can ride unlimited for a year. Also buy a timer chip for $22 extra and for every 10 hikes you get a free smoothie. Proceeds go to a kids charity.

If you're willing to walk up this 3000-foot mountain trail (it's more or less a staircase straight up), you can explore Grouse Mountain and ride the Gondola down for free! Wear your hiking shoes.

Great cardio, leg & butt work out! Gondola Tram down is $10 flat. Every Saturday until the end of August, Free YOGA at 10am at the top of Grouse Mountain!

On a serious note, there are NO garbage cans on the way so please do nature a favour and bring your bottles all the way to the top. A simple way to preserve what nature has provided to us.

For a scenic hike, do the Grouse Grind. To get lost, take the BP Trail. #Vancouver http://www.cirquedusweet.com/2013/07/vancouver-grouse-mountain-and-capilano.html?m=1

Take a slow & steady approach while climbing up the mountain or you'll burn out fast. Don't forget to take rests whenever you can. I saw a guy in front of me almost fall down the trail today!

This is not a hike, this is a workout. Be sure to bring water and a light power snack.
oakbendyetiAugust 4, 2013
don't "hike" straight up the stairs, serpentine pattern will cut your time in half and save your legs

Tough power hike, but super rewarding. Try to go earlier in the day to avoid heat and tourists.
Max Blue 🚴🍔November 21, 2014
Don't even think about doing this without a water bottle in your hands. 1 Hour nonstop uphill. But it is so much fun!
MarvinJuly 27, 2016
There's no water fountains at the top. Bring your own water bottle.
Angelica LionJune 20, 2014
Be strong and finish it! The view is worth it!
Jennifer Logan-ManzerOctober 16, 2011
Truly for the Elite Fitness Enthusiast - Breath Taking Views as you climb the steep mountain top....
高手놀리밑™October 3, 2016
Know your pace. For novice hikers allow at least 2 hours
Moe ShehataFebruary 8, 2016
It was great, and not that steep. Fun experience.
Paige CroninSeptember 13, 2015
You don't have to be a fitness beast to conquer the grind, just make sure you don't try to keep up with the locals...
Daniel GoddardAugust 26, 2010
Skip the cafe & head down to Mother's Herbs on E 14th @ Lonsdale. The BEST post-grind smoothie ever! Yes it's $10, but it's worth $20 (you just paid $12 for a gondola ride anyways, suck it up ;)
Richard WonMay 26, 2012
Take it easy and try not to stop for more then 90 seconds...keep pace and you will get there in no time..
Albha EganAugust 6, 2021
Tough but totally worth it. Bring water.
Paul SandwellNovember 17, 2013
Pepperoni cheese sticks in the coffee shop are awesome!
Jaimie Lee RohrbachAugust 24, 2014
A well deserved view after 56 minutes of high paced grind ! Breathtaking.
Alfred BallSeptember 25, 2011
Use the red painted markers for your quarters. They are closer time wise than the blue ones.
Charlie WärendhOctober 4, 2014
"Relentless" is the best way to describe this trail!
Fran RAugust 22, 2014
Early mornings to beat the crowds
Jennifer Logan-ManzerAugust 16, 2011
Fitness at it's peak... Be careful if you haven't worked out for a bit..it is for the extreme....
MarvinJuly 27, 2016
Don't bring jeans or your baby.
Gagan DieshSeptember 9, 2009
To say you did it. Expect to take the cable car back down, but it's a fantastic cardio workout to go up this mountain side

Enjoy the 1st quarter, it doesn't get any easier!

Cannot say other than it's a challenge.

Brutal. Glad I did it but BRU-TAL.
Kristina SimmonsAugust 19, 2011
Best workout of the summer.

Do the Grouse Grind this Saturday with Karen!
Fernando LugoAugust 3, 2017
Si vas a Vancouver es un lugar que tienes que visitad. Puedes usar el funicular o escalar si tienes condición. En promedio tardaras hora y media escalando. Lleva 10 dólares can para bajar
oixxoOctober 16, 2015
Обязательно: удобная лёгкая обувь, одежда (не джинсы!), бутылка воды и перекус, например, протеиновый батончик. В среднем хайк вверх занимает 1 ч 20 минут.
Davi TrindadeOctober 27, 2013
Nao leve mochila pesada e mta roupade frio. O corpo esquenta no caminho
