Gorgeous Grouse Mountain

Another great tourist destination in Vancouver is Grouse Mountain, where you can travel up the mountain on the tram, or you can challenge yourself on the Grouse Grind, the more physical way to reach the top of the mountain.
Grouse Mountain is part of the North Shore Mountains of the Pacific Ranges in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Exceeding 1200 m (4000 feet) in altitude at its peak, is the site of an alpine ski area in the winter season overlooking Greater Vancouver with four chairlifts facilitating 26 runs. In the summer, the mountain features lumberjack shows and a 2.9 km (1.8 mi.) hiking trail known as the Grouse Grind. Year-round operations include a 100-seat mountaintop theatre and a wildlife refuge. Public access to the mountain top is by a Swiss Garaventa aerial tramway, or the Grouse Grind hiking trail.
