NORTH VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Just ahead of the winter the Grouse Grind has been closed for the season.
Tim Jones with North Shore Rescue says icy conditions are making the popular hiking trail increasingly treacherous. “As far as we’re concerned, the trail, especially about the three-quarter mark, is unsafe.”
He also worries too many hikers are doing the Grind unprepared for the dangerous terrain. “We’re very concerned. We want to let the public know that this will turn into a rescue if we have to come and get you,” he adds.
