Just love watching Grinder and Coola on webcam. A great way to see them in their own environment. We are from Australia and visit Vancouver when we can. Have been watching the antics of these 2 amazing bears for many years. Thank you Grouse Mountain for giving us the opportunity to see Grinder and Coola on the webcams. Sleep well boys and we will look in on you every day. Keith and Karen

Only 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, allow 2 - 3 hours for your visit to Vancouver's iconic Capilano Suspension Bridge, hanging 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. The park offers more than just the bridge. Its surrounding 27 acres celebrate nature, history and culture in unique and thrilling ways. No more so than with the newest attraction, CLIFFWALK. Cliffwalk hangs for 213m (700ft) and reaches 91m (300ft) high, hugging the granite cliffside and offering a panoramic view of the thriving rainforest and canyon far below. On Treetops Adventure venture from one magnificent old growth Douglas-fir to another on a series of seven elevated suspension bridges, reaching as high as 110 feet (33m), for a squirrel's eye view of the forest. Guides, signage and interactive exhibits throughout the park help you in your understanding of rainforest ecosystems and their sustainability.

Visited with my 11 y.o. son on a spur of the moment outing; rode our bikes there so easily found "parking" on a busy day right next to the entrance. They had a special visit from a reptile sanctuary which was the purpose of visiting however my son really enjoyed the ongoing exhibits as much as the guests. Thoroughly enjoyed our time spent there.

Hiking is always my favorite activity in Vancouver. We've done the Deep Cove, Lighthouse, Lynn Valley already so we were looking for another EASY hike. I googled and found Dog Mountain as EASY. While we were hiking, some people were on their way back out ...their shoes were so muddy and dirty... my friend asked.. how come everyone's shoes were so dirty. So apparently, a few days before our hike, there was a big rain; hence, the ground was wet, pushy & muddy.......the trail was definitely not as easy as people say (although we see a lot of people walking easily, with kids too).. this hike involves climbing up and down, walking/hiking with care/attention... on the website, it said 2 hours but it took us 3 hours to complete the whole thing.... I enjoy the hike but it was a tiring one....I will go back!

Walking towards the dam, you can enjoy the beautiful and peaceful scenery of the reservoir embracing by snow mountains. When you walk through the dam, you can see the waterfall from the dam running to the pond, so spectacular !
