Vancouver Day 2: Grouse Mountain

Day 11: Grouse Mountain – Peaks, Lumberjacks, and Bathtime Bears

Today’s adventure took us high above the city to Grouse Mountain, and it may just be one of our favorite moments in Vancouver yet.

We started with a scenic gondola ride up the mountain—soaring above the treetops with sweeping views of Vancouver unfolding below us. Even after days of jaw-dropping landscapes in Alaska, this ride felt absolutely magical. The city, the harbor, and the distant peaks looked like something out of a postcard.

At the top, we caught the always-entertaining lumberjack show, full of humor, axe throwing, and good old-fashioned competition—fun for all ages. Afterward, we wandered over to the wildlife habitat where we spent time watching two resident grizzly bears take a leisurely afternoon bath. It was both peaceful and mesmerizing to watch them splash, play, and then lounge in the sun.

We capped it off with more time soaking in those panoramic views from the summit—mountains behind us, city and sea stretching out ahead.

Grouse Mountain gave us a little bit of everything: nature, wildlife, culture, and unforgettable scenery—all just a short drive from downtown. Highly recommend making it part of any Vancouver visit! 🏔️🐻🚡Читать далее
