This past Saturday Benjamin and I hiked the Grouse Grind....it was my first and probably last time! It is 2.9 km long and 853 m high in elevation, so you can imagine how steep it was. It was the hardest hike I've ever done, and took us 2 hours to complete.
At the start: Feeling pretty good, thinking "I can do this!"
1/4 of the way up: Not so impressed.
It was so steep the whole way up! Ben had no trouble with it, but I had serious doubts that I would make it.
3/4 of the way up: Feeling better, but still exhausted.
WooHoo! We did it! Feeling pretty proud of myself now. The top of Grouse Mountain is beautiful! You can see Stanly park, the Lions Gate bridge, West Van. and the ocean!
