Grouse Mountain Skyride - Vancouver Sights

Grouse Mountain is Vancouver's most visited four-season attraction, with well over a million visitors each year. You get breathtaking views of the city of Vancouver, the sparkling Strait of Georga, the Gulf Islands and peaks on Vancouver Island. Having a mountain so close to such a huge population, there are dozens of possible activities available for locals and visitors. The gondola up is North America's largest aerial tramway system. Although the Skyride Gondola is how most visitors reach the top, a steep trail called the Grouse Grid climbs 4,000 feet up. Once up, you have sleigh rides, ice skating, mountain ziplines, The Eye of the Wind, Shopping, heli-tours, paragliding, the Theatre in the Sky, dinner at The Obseratory, etc. In summer, hiking is popular while in winter, the top is a popular ski resort.

Follow Georgia Street through Stanley Park and across the Lion's Gate Bridge. Take the North Vancouver exit to Marine Drive, then left up Capilano Road for 5 km (3.1 miles). The Skyride operates 365 days a year, departing every 15 minutes from 9am-10pm.
