Iconic Hike up the Grouse Grind, North Vancouver BC Canada
Join us on an adventure as we take on the notorious Grouse Grind, one of North Vancouver's most iconic and physically demanding hikes.
The trail is approximately 2.9 kilometers (1.8 miles) long, with an elevation gain of about 853 meters (2,800 feet). It takes most hikers around 1-3 hours to complete, depending on fitness level and pace.
The fastest known time to complete the Grouse Grind is 24 minutes and 46 seconds, set by Canadian ultra-runner Jonathan Wyatt in 2012.
The Grouse Grind has been a popular hiking trail since the 1970s. It was originally a logging trail, and the switchbacks were added later to make the hike safer and less steep.
The most Grinds in one day stands at an incredible 19, set by Wilfrid LeBlanc.

Thank you for watching! I started the video right at the card scanner and ended it at the top by the scanner so took about 58 minutes. Just a continuous grind the whole way up ☺️☺️☺️
Congrats on 1k subs!

@@Kimberley7Thank you!! 😊
I visited that mountain last year but didn't hike it because I had my 12 yr old with me. Well, that is the excuse that I used. You must have hell of heart and lungs.

Thank you! I think your 12 year old would have enjoyed it. I’ve seen a few kids doing it and they usually fly right past me 😂
