What’s at the bottom? Grind Timer Hikers who want to track their performance when doing the Grind can buy a Grind Timer Card. The card should be swiped at the bottom of the mountain and again at the top. It contains a radio frequency chip that transmits the owner’s name and time to a monitor at Alpine Guest Services in the Peak Chalet. Hikers can print the results there or check them online. Transportation and parking It’s easy to get to the Grind by public transit. Both buses #232 and #236 take visitors directly to Grouse Mountain. Hikers who prefer driving can use a pay parking lot at the base of the mountain. Options are three-hour tickets and day tickets. Consult the current prices on the Grouse Mountain website. Facilities Use the washrooms at the bottom of the mountain before you start your hike. Once you begin your trek, you won’t find any. Public washrooms are available in the Peak Chalet and at the Rusty Rail BBQ located near the Lumberjack Showground at the top of Grouse.
