Vancouver Vatnsævintýri
1812 Boatlift LnVery popular hike that takes you up to the top of Grouse Mountain. It’s not an easy hike so prepare yourself with proper gear and water. You will need to purchase a one way ticket to come down in the gondola. It’s a one way hike (some do walk down but I don’t recommend it). Hike up, have a drink, explore if you have the energy, and enjoy the view!
