GROUSE MOUNTAIN

On our Second day in Vancouver we ventured to Grouse mountain.

Took the seabus over the bay to the Noth shore. Where a bus was waiting

to take us to the Grouse mountain Skyride. Rise to a viewpoint of

3700 feet.

Grouse Mountain is one of the North Shore Mountains overlooking .Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is the site of a small but well-known ski area and tourist attraction located in the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia.

Grouse mountain is home to two orphaned Grizzly bears .

Grinder and Coola are both male bears . One of Grouse mountain resorts staff kindly gave us lots of info on the two bears. Grinder was found

at the side of a logging road . He was almost dead and his mother could not be found. Grinder loves to people watch and can be seen above

looking out at passer by.

Coola was found after her mother was killed by a lorry.Coola is a bit shy

and loves to spend time swimming in the pond.

Grouse Mountain and its aerial tramway stood in for the fictional "Skyland

Mountain" in the Blue Ridge of Virginia, in a 1994 episode of TV show The X-Files in
which Dana Scully is abducted on top of the mountain. The X-Files was filmed in the Vancouver region for its first five years.

Its ski lodge and facilities were also used in the filming of the modern movie adaptation of the popular cartoon Mr.Magoo
