Grouse Mountain is Vancouver’s most famous mountain; It is the second most-climbed mountain in the world (after Mount Fuji.)

We’ve watched the lumberjack show, met the owls and raptors, skied…

It is possible to do this hike almost year round if you have the right shoes (or snowshoes!) In the summertime, once the snow has melted, this is a fun family friendly trail.
