Grouse Mountain

Grouse Mountain is often referred to as the Peak of Vancouver. This excellent skiing destination is only a 15 minute drive away from Vancouver.

 Beside skiing, Grouse offers the famous Grouse Grind which is an incredible walk up the mountain. The Ziplines can take you to 80km per hour! The mountain also houses the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife.


The Skyride gondolas can take up to 100 people at a time to the base of the ski hills. At this base you'll find excellent dining and bistros as well.  Enjoy your visit.

Queen Elizabeth Park

Queen Elizabeth park originally started out as a basalt quarry.  In 1948 this quarry was turned into a gem of a park called Queen Elizabeth park.  This beautiful park is the highest point in Vancouver and home to the Queen Elizabeth  Bloedel Conservatory.

The Bloedel Conservatory is a triodetic dome filled with exotic tropical plants, free flying exotic birds and koi fish.

Throughout all 4 seasons this park offers a tranquille beautiful setting midst a busy city.  The top of the park offers a 180 degree view of the north shore mountains and the city. During the summer months wedding pictures are taken here more than any where else in the city.
