Downward travel is not permitted on the Grind, and hikers are being reminded that while the BCMC trail undergoes upgrades, the Grouse Mountain Skyride gondola is the only way down from the top.

Metro Vancouver says anyone hiking the trail should dress for conditions and wear good footwear.

Hikers should also always pack water, a snack and a cell phone, and leave enough time to finish their hike before nightfall.
