"Grouse Grind, North Vancouver by Sara Morison. Described as Mother Nature's Stairmaster or the North Shore's "Stairway to Heaven", the Grind has been keeping Vancouverites fit and challenged tourists with its grueling 2.9 km (1.8 mi) ascent up Grouse Mountain. Amidst beautiful old growth trees, the trip up 2,830 steps is arduous but oh so rewarding as you reach the peak and the incredible views of the city and beyond. Don't forget proper shoes and water, and there's a tram for the downward trip!"
