About this place

Added by Ian Tyley

Crown Mountain is a challenging hike that offers amazing views of Vancouver city. 

You can take the gondola up Grouse Mountain and then hike from there which roughly takes around 5 hrs at a decent pace. The hike is a hard one that is a lot of up and down and a fair bit of climbing.You can start at the top of the Skyride on Grouse Mountain, follow the paved path to the grizzly bear enclosure, and towards the base of Grouse Mountain. There is a dirt road that splits, head left, and follow the gravel road. Follow the road for about 500 m and you will you will reach the start of the Alpine Trail.Follow the signs that say Alpine trail all the way up to Crown Mountain.The elevation from the top of Grouse Mountain is 385 metres.But from the bottom of Grouse it is about 1300m.

Enjoy the hike but take plenty of water and be careful.
