The BCMC trail goes up just east of the Grouse Grind. It is not as steep and has more switchbacks than the Grind. The trail is getting quite eroded but Metro Vancouver is starting to fix up the bottom part of the trail.
Access Info
Hike about 200 m east from the Grouse Parking lot along the Baden Powell trail to find the trail. Well marked from there.
