Grouse Mountain is one of the most popular attractions in the Vancouver area.
An exciting gondola (the Skyride) ride takes you to the top of the mountain; otherwise you can hike up the Grouse Grind trail to the top of Grouse Mountain (but it is a long and hard walk!!!).
The SkyRide starts at the base of the mountain at about 300 metres and climbs to 1100 m in twelve minutes. During the trip, you can see all of Vancouver and the surrounding area.
