Welcome to SP and thanks for putting up this page. I've voted three stars for now because I believe there's a lot more to be done with your page and will gladly up my vote when a few additions are made. You have done a good job, though.
One of the biggest draws of Grouse is the Grouse Grind which you briefly mentioned but need to much expand on: This is the quintessential stairclimb - I know of no other in the world that has its attributes of being so close to a major city, has so many people doing it and has such, well, ambiance! Google it to find more info.
Also, the formal restaurant at the top - I think its called the observatory or maybe the overlook - I can't remember - will validate tram tickets and is THE most fantastic for views of the city - especially at night - not to mention has fantastic service and food to match.
Here is what I'd suggest to make the page more interesting and complete: Find a link for The Grouse Grind and put it up; also, for the restaurant. See what alternate routes climb the mountain: There is a road to the summit. Where do you access it?
What does it cost to ride the gondola and when was it built. Are there any times the stairway is closed to public access.
The above isn't everything, but it's a start - there's a lot to this mountain and it may take some work.
I know the answers to most of the above but I'll bet you will have some fun finding them and get some great practice for your next page.
I'm upping my vote in anticipation of the good job I know you will do.
I've spent about 8 days in Vancouver and every one of them was like depicted here. If there was a blue sky picture of the peak in all its glory it wouldn't help me identify the peak on my next visit. :-)

Untitled CommentThanks for adding this one since I would love to test myself timewise on the Grouse Grind. Don Nelson probably holds the record but wouldn't admit it.
