Grouse Mountain, marketed as the Peak of Vancouver, is a North Shore mountain resort reached by an aerial Skyride tramway and gondolas. Visitors can hike, view resident grizzly bears, ride the Grouse Grind trail, take a zipline tour, or ride the mountain bike park and the Grouse Gravity mountain coaster, with skiing and snowshoeing in winter. The resort is owned and operated by Northland Properties, which acquired it in 2020 and has since added attractions including the Blue Grouse Gondola.
