Grouse Grind, North Vancouver

This is a steep 1.5 hour average climb with lots of stairs.  I was panting, along with lots of others! Make sure you bring lots of water!! The view of North Vancouver and Burrard Inlet from the top is beautiful though and worth the climb.  You can grab lunch or a coffee (at the pricey cafe) at the top or take the inexpensive gondola ride down.  Yes, there is a lift down. Hikers cannot go down the trail.  The only way down is the gondola. Before you head down make sure you take in the bears and ride the chair lift to the top of Grouse Mountain (all for free).
