Grouse Mountain

Known as both a resort and an attraction, Grouse Mountain is a popular North Vancouver summer and winter mountain playground.

If it's action you want, there are non-stop year-round adventures to keep your heart racing. The most famous is the Grouse Grind, a seasonal (yes, we take the winter off) grueling, near vertical run-a foot slog for some-2.9k hike up the mountain, gaining 2800 feet in elevation.
