Grouse Mountain and the Skyride are probably some of the most popular attractions with tourists. The locals use the mountain for skiing and other outdoor activities while tourists like myself just go up to get some great views of the city. Grouse Mountain is one of tree mountains close to downtown where you can go to ski. You can even walk up if you care to. It’s about a tree kilometer walk with an elevation gain of about 900 meters – so not an easy walk at all. I spoke to an older man who had walked up in just over an hour – he did so about 30 times a year. There’s a competition held every year and you have to be faster than about 20-25 minutes to beat the record 🙂 The views from up here are pretty sweet. The weather in April is fairly hazy but I think it was well worth the trip up – 8 minutes on the Skyride. HD version available at Vimeo.com: www.vimeo.com

Volviendo a? vivir…
Went up Grouse Mountain during the fall a few years back.
Beautiful views, nice walking paths, everything was cool, fresh. Nice quiet break from downtown Van.
Highly recommended for a day tour or even 1/2 day tour, if you’re in the? area.

Went to Grouse Mtn. 3 days ago. It? was magical..Sat on the deck next to the restaurant and watched the mist float through the fir trees..downtown Vancouver looked like it was being viewed from a flying airplane. Coola and his brother were playing in their enclosure.. Towards the end of the day the mountain was enveloped in fog and there were snow drifts still several feet high along the walk paths… Would love to go back someday! Vancouver is wonderful!

You are of course correct. North Vancouver is east of the Lions Gate Bridge while West? Vancouver is west of the bridge.
