This was the third of the three peaks I visited on the traverse from the Nordic Center (via the Vincent Tumamait Trail). This included Mount Pinos and Sawmill Mountain. This mountain was my favorite of the three, based solely on the scenery. A use trail leaves the Vincent Tumamait Trail at a point along the lower north facing slopes of Grouse Mountain. From there, it is a short climb to the summit. On the way back is the majority of the elevation gain for the hike, with a steady climb back up to Mount Pinos.
