Unregistered	Hi Anne! You bet I did the Grouse Grind. I am not sure but I think you have to do it once or they kick you out of Vancouver! I did it in 42 minutes! ....then went back and down the same way to collect any vital organs I may have left on the trail ...ie lungs, spleen!!! It is such beautiful country out here and there is a book of trails you can hike from 1 hr to 7 day trips. It is part of the charm of the place that keeps me in love with it! Thanks for asking! DAN

I'll probably be at least twice the time you were - plus I don't plan on losing any organs Maybe I should look for that book of trails. Hopefully in March the trail won't be blocked by snow and the bears will still be sleeping. Thanks for answering. Anne
