Sightseeing
This hike is located within a 15 min drive of the suite and one of Vancouver's absolute best hikes. It is perfectly marked, safe, and offers some of the best views of Howe Sound. Pack a light snack or lunch for the top and enjoy your time in nature. Free parking is available on Cypress Mountain, and the hike would take an experienced hiker approx 1.15 up. Recommended you have proper hiking footware, but one can get by in running shoes in drier conditions.
In the winter, there is a lot of snow on the mountain and not recommended to hike. Consider a snowshoe instead.

The Grouse Grind is exactly how it sounds. It is virtually a stairway to the top of Grouse Mountain. Although many can complete the hike, it is rated medium-to-hard as there really is no relief from a linear club.
Once you reach the top you can enjoy a cold beverage in their local chalet, visit the Bears at a bear sanctuary, and/or choose to hike down or take the gondola (10 min ride) for a small fee.
