New Grinding hours

AFTER-WORK
grinders had to readjust
their hiking schedule at
the beginning of this
month, when the
GVRD announced new
hours for the Grouse
Grind.

The new times were set so
that hikers can have as much
light as possible while navigat-
ing the steep and narrow trails.

Early risers can now hit the

trail ar 8 a.m., half'an hour ear-
lier than the summer opening;
but evening grinders must have
started their hike by 3 p.m.,
when the gate at the trailhead is
locked for the night.

The popular trail, used by
some 100,000 hikers annually,
originates at the Grouse
Mountain Resort parking lot
and traverses mountainous ter-
rain on GVRD off-drainage
watershed lands adjacent to the
Grouse SkyRide right-of-way.
