The Grouse Grind is a pure workout with no real scenery. It’s a sweat fest and it will get your heart pumping like crazy. Apparently it’s also a tourist destination, as many people attempt it in their street shoes and pants – many turn back.
But, it’s a real achievement when you finish – Out of the general population, very few people can do this.
When I used to do it in 2013, the parking was free and the fee for the gondola was $10. Now there is a parking fee.
Time (my best): 53 min 12 sec
Record time (Sebastian Salas): 25 min 24 sec
Distance: 2.9 km (one way)
Low point: 274 m
High point: 1127 m
Elevation gain: 853 m
Number of stairs: 2830
Trailhead: 49° 22’ 16.7” by 123° 5’ 54.5” (Google Map)
The route…
Here is the start of the trail…
Some trail pictures…
Here is the gondola (fee) most people take on way down…
They have two Grizzly bears at the top…
And a great ‘birds of prey’ show in the summer…
And if you wonder what a Grouse is, it’s a bird…
You can reward yourself with Mountain Nachos in the restaurant…

Before heading out on your hike, make sure you are well prepared. This means, having the TEN ESSENTIALS. It is also important to leave a trip plan (route details and estimated return time) with someone you trust.
Bring your smartphone, fully charged and put it in airplane mode while hiking. I always bring back-up battery packs for extra piece of mind. It is highly recommended that you bring a GPS device; I use my smartphone with a GPS app (Backcountry Navigator). The GPS will work in airplane mode. Learn how to use it before your hike.
For anyone new to hiking, there is a rule to which hikers follow; it is called “Leave No Trace” or LNT. The concept is generally to pack out what you pack in and respect nature, so all future visitors can enjoy what you have enjoyed.
To learn more about LNT, please check out this BLOG by a certified LNT Trainer.

Hi my friend! I want to say that this article is amazing, nice written and include almost all significant infos. I’d like to see more posts like this.
First off I would like to say terrific blog! I had
a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself
and clear your mind before writing. I have had difficulty clearing
my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to
figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Kudos!

Hello friends, how is all, and what you would like to say concerning this
article, in my view its really amazing in support of me.
I’ve been browsing online more than three hours
today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion,
if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will
be much more useful than ever before.
I am impressed with this internet site, really I am a fan.
Feel free to surf to my web blog https://fitnessketodiet.net/
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading?
I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Link exchange is nothing else but it is just placing the other
person’s weblog link on your page at proper place and other person will
also do similar for you.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into
starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed
to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
