The 2.9KM trail has been closed since January 19th due to snow and ice. However, the warmer temperatures that the city has been receiving lately have cleared most of the snow, making it safe for visitors.
The #GrouseGrind Trail in #GrouseMountainRegionalPark reopens today at 6:15 am. It's still pretty cool at the top of the mountain, so be sure to take an extra layer to stay warm. Also recommended: water, a snack, cellphone & good footwear. #regionalparks https://t.co/kP0OPepgjM pic.twitter.com/h7Gy4jwMjR
