"Quite a long walk in from my uncles place, grouse grind was closed. Took the BCMC trail up, at the end of the trail i discoverd the access to the summit was blocked by building contractors so I had to turn back a few hundred meters short. :(" — Toastinski • May 9, 2023

"Started up Grouse Grind, not really knowing what it was. It's a steep hike, almost 2 miles and 2800' elevation gain. It's worth a one time shot, as it's very crowded. Continued on to Alpine Trail to Goat Mountain Trail, which is beautiful, and peaceful. Most tourists stop at the top of Grouse Grind, so it was great to get away from the crowd. We went on an overcast day, so didn't get to enjoy the view, but I'm sure it's gorgeous. The trail to Goat Mtn Peak requires some class 4 scrambling. There are chains and ropes setup along the route. Chains are solid, however, I wouldn't take a fall on the ropes. Def not for your average hiker. Also, we went June 9 (2019) and there is still a lot of snow. Def bring GPS, as it really helped! We had water proof hiking shoes and gators, which really came in handy. Saw a lot of people turning around, as they only wore sneakers. Also, on the way back, we stopped for some hot chocolate at the cafe, top of Grouse Mountain and took the tram down. Nice way to end the hike!" — colleenmarie512 • Jun 8, 2019

"I generally climb Grouse Mountain once a week during the summer. After doing the Grouse Grind I proceeded along the paved path, past the grizzly bear habitat, to the peak of Grouse. A better view is obtained from the deck of the Eye of the Wind, a large wind turbine on top of the mountain. " — simmesher • May 21, 2015

"Went up the Grouse Grind while on a road trip with my Girlfriend. Proceeded to the summit for #36 of my 100 in 2014 goal. Awesome day out. The hike was excellent. The grizzlys were cool, we got to see a bird show while up there and enjoyed BBQ food and cold beer on the deck up there after the summit. We took the gondola back down. How fricken cool! Drove all the way up here from southern california with the love of my life." — 1-with-Nature • May 31, 2014

"Very foggy most of the day, and a few shoers, view of the city for just a few minutes from the summit. Kati and Myself. Came to see the new wind generator, but... Elevation gain for the peak 931m, YTD elevation gain 40488m." — MtnJohn • Aug 8, 2012
