The 30 Day Grind (Annual Event) - Difficulty: Intermediate

Hello my fellow hibernating hikers! Summer and nicer hikes are fast approaching, so it’s time we crawl out of our warm winter caves, dust off our slowly enlarging comfy tummies, and get back into hiking! We will be hosting The 30 Day Grind, a hiking challenge to see how many times we can get up Grouse Mountain within 30 days. This will get you in shape for our other organizer’s hikes, and it will only take you 1 to 1.5 hours to complete each time (if semi-reasonably fit).

*The Grouse Grind is 1 - 1.5 hours, you can go before or after work, and on weekends. Trail opens 7am-6:30pm, the gondola operates 7:30am-9pm.
*This is a go at your own pace series of events, we will not be meeting. Choose any days and times that fit your schedule and complete this at your own pace.
*There is currently no snow on the trail, the only snow is at the exit of the forest at the top.
*Grouse Mountain is selling its discounted annual pass and annual pass+ for 30% off, from now until May 19th. Now is the time to buy yours if you’ll be going on future hikes up Grouse Mountain.
*If you join, you will be invited to our Group Chat where attendees can post pictures of themselves at the top to show their completion rate.
