Grouse Grind June 26/09

For those not familiar with the "Grouse Grind", this hike/climb to the top of Grouse Mountain has been a rite of passage in the Lower Mainland. A person should do it at least once in a lifetime (sort of like running a marathon - once is enough). So we did it and "once is really quite enough". Here we are still fairly fresh probably less than 1/4 into it.


Seeing the 1/2 way mark sign really wasn't that encouraging - the body said you should be at the top already


Here we are having FINALLY reached the top!


Views from the Gondola, on the way back down. Much easier trip than on the way up!
