Meet at 10am at the Grouse Grind Trail starting/stretching area, i.e. next to fenced gate.

If you are not familiar with the BCMC Trail route (next to the "Grouse Grind"), please research it beforehand.  You should feel comfortable with hiking alone at your own pace so if you are slower or faster than others you can safely reach the Grouse Mountain Chalet on your own. The plan will be to meet inside the chalet by the fireplace then ride the gondola down ($10 fee). Please bring your cellphone in case you decide to turn around. I suggest you also bring a whistle, extra water and extra clothing... including rain protection.  Consider bringing one or two hiking poles if you're unsure how your knees will deal with the steep 25.8% grade.

For those that have yet to do so, please update your BCMC Account Profile with your emergency contact information. To do that you have to login on the website, click the "My account" button at top right, then click on "edit profile information", then select the "private information" tab and enter your emergency contact information -- this info will stay in your profile and is made available to a trip organizer automatically -- it saves time at the meeting point.
