FAQs
The Grouse Grind climbs about 800 m over 2.5 km and is quite steep. The trail is not technical and is well maintained, with many steep sections reinforced by wooden stairs. You need a moderate level of fitness, and you should expect to feel exhausted after the hike.
You can opt out. Either take the gondola uphill and spend more time at the top (you cover the price difference for the gondola ticket, stated as about $65 for an adult), or stay at the base and wait for the group. There’s a cafe, and you can walk to Cleveland Dam (about 30 minutes each way).
Bring closed-toe shoes suitable for hiking (preferably hiking shoes), a water bottle, and sun protection.
