Sightseeing
If you're active and keen for an amazing adventure, try the grueling "Grouse Grind". It's a man made trail to the top of Grouse Mountain. They don't call it the "Grind" for nothing, it's a real workout and not a walk in the park, but when you reach the top of the mountain, what a feeling of exhilaration...and the view of the city is amazing! Average time would be approx. 60 mins, then you can take the Skyride down for $10.00. Who's up for the challenge !?
