Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
(and Professional Travelers)

Grouse Mountain is 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, and just up the mountain from the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Grouse Mountain features a tram ride, a lumberjack show, birds in motions demonstrations, scenic chair rides, helicopter tours, a refuge for endangered wildlife, ranger talks and eco walks, plus fabulous views of Vancouver, several dining facilities and of course, souvenir shops. The zip line is a new attraction on Grouse Mountain.
North America's largest aerial tram system departs every 15 minutes from 9 am to 10 pm seven days a week. The tram takes you to an elevation of 4,100 feet above Vancouver.
From the moment you step off the Grouse Mountain Skyride, nature envelopes you with the scent of red cedar and douglas fir.

FABUL0US CHAIN SAW CARVINGS
Lee climbs up a bank of snow and into these carvings
Lee and Karen Duquette climbed up a big bank of snow to get inside the carving.
But when getting out of the carving, the snow caved in under Karen and she found herself just over knee-deep in a snow hole. Lee tries to help Karen get up, but she was laughing so hard and just couldn't get back on her feet.
But Karen couldn't get up, so she slid down the snow bank on her butt, laughing all the way. Then Lee was able to help her up. All the by-standers were laughing up a storm.

There is a hiking trail up this mountain, and although it was closed, several hikers are shown here emerging from an unbelievable hike up Grouse Mountain.
Below; a close-up view of how rough the trail is at the top of the mountain. Imagine that it must be just as bad throughout the hike.
