Hiking the Grouse Grind is no leisurely stroll. It requires effort and determination. We Americans are about to leave Canada and we just had to try this iconic adventure. It's a one way trail that brings you to the top of Grouse Mountain, where there are tons of summer-time activities to enjoy as you cool down. There are restaurants, gift shops, zip-lines and even a couple of grizzly bears!

23 minutes is insane!!!
Just did this. Took me over 3 hours and probably took 100 breaks but so happy I did.
I miss that mountain so much! I taught snowboarding there from 2006-2012. I can't count how many times I've done the Grind or how many times I've been up and down those Skyrides (Both the Red and Blue) I also worked there as a lifty is 2001. I remember when Grinder and Coola were just little bear cubs. Watching this video was like taking me home.
We think about our time there all the time too! It's a great place.
I did the Grouse Grind about 30 years ago before it was well marked and had man made stairs. Thought I would die before I got to the top. But did it and I can proudly say I did! But will never do again.. especially 30 years later. Well done! It's a bucket list thing to do.
It was a tough one for sure! I can't imagine it not being marked and no stairs! It had to be pretty scary too?
I just created a similar video about hiking and biking up to and past the Grouse Grind. Once you do it enough times, it becomes almost addictive.
You should have given the energizer bunny the back pack that would have helped slow her down! So glad you are enjoying Vancouver and Canada!.
Thanks for placing that extra sparkle on Vancouver during your stay. There will always be a special space reserved on the Yaletown seawall for both of you. Happy travels.
Thank you Gordo! We left officially yesterday. We're going to miss it for sure.
Thanks for this preview. On my way today
We hope you had a blast!!
@@chrisplusmelissa I made it,... 2 hours... it was quite a workout!!
AWESOME!
May fortune shine upon your future adventures. Wishing great success for Melissa with her film career and much happiness for you Chris. Keep these great vids coming and hope you come back to our country real soon.
Thank you! We're going to keep plugging away at adventure.
Living here in Manitoba, I’d love if our province had hikes that high. Glad you guys enjoyed your time in our fine country 😄🇨🇦. Make sure you grab a Coffee Crisp (. Ooops….ok that’s my favourite Canadian Chocolate Bar ) …..for the way back!! Happy trails 🙋♀️
@@lenbeedle I do remember. Cheesy humour doesn’t get the respect it deserves lol 🍫🍫🍫
Cheesy humor rules!!!
That was the best EPISODE of The Chrimel Show.
Really?! It didn't have one mention of tacos!
@@chrisplusmelissa yeah although it didnt mention tacos.. BEEF tacos are the only real tacos but it had Bears
This video was amazing. You both have incredible determination and amazing humor. Also, the grizzly bears and beautiful scenery was incredible.
Thank you Kristen!
Don't goooo! I'd been following you guys since November and I love all your videos! Thanks for being a great ambassadors of our city and putting Vancouver on the map and I hope you had a great time! Hope you guys come back and this pandemic will be over and you'll see Vancity at its fullest!
Thank you so much!! We are sad to go... such a great city and area!
Good journey and God bless! I'm glad Chris survived the Grind and the Chief!😂
We love hiking and camping so much as well like you:) It was a nice & pleasant time with your hike sharing 🚶♂️🤗👍
Thank you!
Good luck in your future. It's been great having you here.
Well done you two hiking the Grouse Grind. The views were spectacular.
Another fun video! Take care and have a safe drive to wherever next! Thank you!
Thank you! Will do!
Great episode !!
I believe this is your best so far. Cheers!
Wow, thanks!
Amazing work guys! So glad you did the Grind! I try and do it once a week and it's always intimating but sooooo worth it!! Melissa, you looked like and absolute pro! Chris, you killed it! Urban Myth, the 1/4 mark is actually more than 1/3 the way up, I heard a rumour that it was to intimidate poorly prepared tourists, those with no water or those too out of shape to make it. The secret to knowing how far along you are is to look at the small trail markers, there's 40 and they'’re evenly numbered.
It was way tough... a great workout! ( I did notice the small numbers and figured they were the real thing... also, we had a local just in front of us that climbs it all the time... she gave us the inside info! :D)
You two always seem to have fun! Safe travels!
We try our best. :D
Another fun and informative video. SpIendid weather! Also, I love the "computer guy speed " line. Sad to see you go. Like many others, I wish you the very best.
Love your videos! Now I need to go there! Vancouver Tourism should hire you guys!
We'd be delighted if they did! Make sure you tell them to look into our channel! :D Thanks for watching our videos.
Nice job Chris you got Merrel boot super comfortable.
Love your T-shirt Melissa
She says, "thank you!"
Good job, great video!
Thanks!
I was born and raised in Vancouver. The first time I did the grind, by the time I got to the quarter mark I thought, you’ve got to be kidding. I thought it was the most difficult physical thing I’d ever done,and I swore I’d never do it again. That was at least a thousand grinds ago.
That's awesome.
Great job Chris, I can’t do the “Grind”. 1:45 is a great time!
It was a tough one. I need to do less sitting and more hiking!
Well done. That deserves an extra donut.
Mmmmm Donuts!
Good job! Time for a beer!
Agreed!
Chris is very short.
He sure is!
No I think he has a tall selfie-stick.
If I hike can I come down by sky tram for free ?
No, you have to get a ticket in advance.
