The Grouse grind is mother Nature’s Stairmaster. A rigorous 2.9 km (1.8 mile) up the face of Grouse Mountain equals one and a half times the CN Tower. It is a weekly pilgrimage to many in Vancouver. The heart pounding climb up to the top quickly becomes a “how fast was I this time?” addiction. Many climbers maintain log of all their climbs as part of the Grouse Grind Summit seekers log .

The best part of the climb is enjoying the wonderful sunsets from the top and a trip down the Grouse Mountain Skyline Tram with a warm hot coco. When you move to the North Shore you are not just buying real estate….you are living in one of the best areas of the world with a lifestyle to match!
