June 5, 2009
North Vancouver, June 5, 2009 – Soaring temperatures this week may leave you searching for shade and wondering where to find cooler climes. Come up to the only cool spot in Vancouver at Grouse Mountain to relax and enjoy the rays without running for cover. Several degrees less heat and ample snow create an atmosphere where you can actually throw a snowball in your summer wear and chill with your friends and family.
The Grouse Grind Social Nights returned this week in Altitudes Bistro for the third successive summer season. The exciting evening events take place every Wednesday throughout summer and kick off at 6pm. Come out to meet other hikers, visitors or lounge lovers, or get a group of your own together to escape the monotony of the daily routine. Grouse Grind Social Nights feature a live DJ, excellent prize giveaways, and plenty of food & beverage specials to keep the conversation flowing.
Vancouver’s most popular hiking trail, the Grouse Grind, is now open to the public for another exhilarating summer season. Whether you are looking to improve your time to complete the Grouse Grind, or heighten your fitness levels, the challenge awaits you this weekend on “Mother Nature’s Stairmaster”. Enjoy the beautiful May sunshine that has returned in time for the opening of Canada’s premiere trail, and is close on the heels of exciting summer activities recently launched atop Grouse Mountain. Continue your alpine adventure and give your legs a rest by taking flight on the new Air Grouse Mountain Ziplines, or cool down after your rewarding hike in one of our Peak Chalet restaurants.
Metro Vancouver has established the current operating hours for the Grouse Grind are from 6:30am to 7:30pm daily. Tram downloading begins at 7:30am on weekdays, and 8am on weekends and holidays.
