Grouse Mountain is located in North Vancouver, 1,200 meters above sea level. It was named after the blue grouse found on the mountain in 1894. The first hotel on the mountain was built by the Scandinavians in 1920, and a cable car was built in 1949. It was accidentally destroyed by a fire in 1962, and the BC government later funded the construction of a new one. In 1976, the mountain was acquired by the previous owner, the McLaughlin family. Later, this cable car was named Olympic after several repairs.
The most famous hiking route on Grouse Mountain is the Grind Hiking Trail, which is about 2.9 miles long. After arriving, you can watch the bears and wolves in the wildlife park. You can also participate in the game activities in the park, including high ropes, cabin climbing and other projects.
🚌Transportation: First take the Skyline Skytrain to Waterfront Station, and walk across the skybridge in the same building to take the Seabus to Lonsdale Quay. It takes fifteen minutes to arrive, and there is a seaside market to visit. Then take bus No. 236 directly to Grouse Mountain.
🎫Tickets: 60 Canadian dollars, including tickets to attractions and cable car tickets for going up and down the mountain. Prices may vary in off-season and peak seasons.
🍔Dining: After the cable car arrives, there is a rest area where you can buy coffee☕️bread🥯 and other simple meals. There is also a high-end restaurant where tourists can taste local cuisine.
⚠️Note: There is a slight temperature difference between the mountain and the bottom of the mountain, so you can wear a professional assault jacket. You can also bring mineral water, thermos cups, hot tea, coffee, etc., and some snacks such as bread. Friends who are prone to motion sickness can bring motion sickness medicine. Friends who are afraid of heights can hike up the mountain without taking the cable car🚠
