Mount Fromme via St. George’s Trail: Intermediate

About the Hike

READ THE DESCRIPTION

This scenic hike begins at the top of St. Georges, beneath the power lines that cross the old Grouse Mountain Highway on the way to Fromme Peak. The trail starts off fairly steep, eases into a moderate incline as you continue upward, and then becomes steeper again during the final kilometre. Along the way, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of Colosseum Mountain, the North and South Needles, Lynn Peak, and Mount Seymour.

The trail surface is soft and rarely dusty, even during the driest periods. Its steady elevation gain feels comfortable—never too easy, yet not overly demanding. Many hikers find this route far more enjoyable than any of the nine trails leading up Grouse Mountain.

As you climb higher, the route can become a bit confusing, so note that the trail continues beyond the two summits. It’s a good idea to download a map beforehand if you plan to go farther. From the upper sections, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views stretching from Crown Mountain to Mount Seymour.

In winter, traction aids such as spikes or snowshoes may be necessary. Be mindful of the exposed roots and eroded sections, which can be slippery—watch your footing as you go.
