My first time in 2008 to go up the Grouse Grind. It has taken awhile for this hike to open up this year, and I was quite impressed at my 1 hour and 2 minute time up this hike. A very clear day, considering that there is still snow on the top. June 7, 2008.

I stopped. Just to take a photo. For you guys.

We saw a couple deer on the way up

This photo was taken up to the mountain, after a 1h20min and 1250m of hiking.

For this season, the fastest under 12-year old completed the Grind in 45 minutes.

Let me repeat this. 45 minutes.

It took me and Clay about 2,5 hours.

Casual grouse grind hike the day after Halloween, troopers.
