As the trail starts, there are some rock stairs along the rocky path. There are also orange markers in the trees along the trail, though staying on the path of the Grouse Grind is straightforward. Advertising revenue is falling quickly across the internet, and independently-run sites like Outdoor Vancouver are hit hardest by it.

If you come across an injured hiker and need to call for help, these numbered markers can be helpful. After about five minutes and meters, you come to a large, yellow warning sign that reads an exclusion of liability for injury on the trail.
After about 15 minutes and meters, you come to a small, wooden bridge. After the bridge, there is a series of wooden steps with the Grouse Grind marker 12 shortly after. Around GG marker 18, the trail becomes steeper. Keep climbing, enjoying the dense forest of Douglas fir, western hemlock and western red cedar. If you are curious about the distance you have completed, it is better to look at the GG markers, as they are more evenly spaced.
After GG 24 you will reach a particularly steep section with a flurry of wooden stairs. Next, you will come to a few spots that provide partial views through the trees. You can catch glimpses of downtown Vancouver and West Vancouver below. Around marker 29, you will come to a gully on your right and there is another partial view through the trees from this point.
Several thousand people flocked to the face of the mountain each year looking to reach the cabins located in the Grouse Mountain village at the foot of what is now known as The Cut ski run. From here, the trail reaches its steepest stretch and there is a long section of wooden stairs with short switchbacks. Mercifully, as you come to the final meters of the trail, it starts to level out. You will, at last, emerge from the trees with a view of the Grouse Mountain lodge just ahead.
At the top, you can enjoy a drink or food from the lodge, and pay for a download gondola ticket. If you prefer to hike down, you can take the adjacent BCMC, which is equally as steep as the Grouse Grind but does not have the aid of stairs. From the top, there are also longer hikes available. Capilano Road will turn into Nancy Green Way. Self-guided hikes and guided eco-tour walks are available to show you everything there is to see and do.
Snowshoeing is a fun way to get outdoors in the winter. Many of the local snowshoe trails take you high into the mountains to lookout points where you can gaze down to the city or deep into Enjoy the crisp air and quiet trails on a winter hike.
