Vancouver offers some of the most serene hiking and jogging trails in the country. Its coastal location and mountainous terrain are extremely appealing to those looking for a little aestheticism in their outdoor excursions. From treading along the city’s beaches to jogging the evergreen-canopied nature trails to the extreme physical exertion of hiking up Vancouver’s imposing promontories. A favorite hiking and jogging location among visitors and locals alike is at Grouse Mountain. In addition to it’s tranquil wilderness, Grouse Mountain offers a variety of attractions, from restaurants to axe-throwing contests and more. Many Vancouverites like to attempt the “Grouse Grind”, a two-mile steep ascent to the top, rather than riding the gondola to the summit. No matter where you hike, keep an eye out for local wildlife, and don’t do anything stupid!
