Grouse Mountain is a veritable mecca for outdoor-sporting types:
hiking, mountain-biking, paragliding, skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating,
you name it. You can even go for helicopter or sleigh rides. A ride
to the peak on the continent’s largest aerial tramway will
cost you a pretty penny, but the price includes a half-hour movie
in the “Theatre in the Sky” and a visit to the wildlife
refuge. Between May and October there’s also a “world-famous
lumberjack show” in which two ax-wielding men in flannel shirts
perform 45 minutes of stunts. And of course, there’s a lodge
at the peak that includes a bar and an upscale restaurant.
(A word to all you adventurers: do not attempt to hike up or down
the mountain on your own, even if you are an experienced climber.)
