This is Hope’s “Grouse Grind”, offering hikers and trail runners a steep trail through lush forest, ending with a spectacular viewpoint perched on a rocky slope. You’ll be rewarded with amazing views of the rivers, mountains, and lakes surrounding Hope.
Dogs on-leash are permitted on the trail, but please be responsible to ensure they are picked up after and do not wander off the trail to disturb wildlife or the surrounding habitat.
The trail is located inside the town of Hope.
There are picnic tables and a garbage can at the trailhead, and a pit toilet at the top of the trail.
When hiking every trail please practice Leave No Trace principles and pack out anything you pack in.
