Updated June 20th: The Grouse Grind trail re-opens tomorrow, Thursday June 21st at 6:15 AM.

Metro Vancouver reports that due to recent rain and warmer temperatures on Grouse Mountain, almost all the snow affecting the Grouse Grind trail has melted.

As conditions have improved, the Grouse Grind trail will now open Wednesday May 2nd at 6:15 am. The last entry before the gate closes is at 6 PM. 

To add a level of urgency, the trail will again close from May 22nd until the first or second week of June for planned seasonal safety maintenance. Get your Grind's in soon!


Grouse Grind Hiking Trail

With an ascent of 800 meters at nearly a 30% grade, the 2.9km Grouse Grind is Metro Vancouver's world famous test of endurance and one of few trails with a patio restaurant at the peak to reward a grueling grind. Vancouverites compete for top times at the annual Grouse Grind Mountain Run at the end of each Summer season.
