From Cleveland Dam head North up Nancy Greene Way to the Grouse parking lot.
Go thru the Grouse Grind entrance gate and follow Baden Powell trail north-east ignoring the Grouse Grind and BCMC trails, and keep climbing BP for about 20-30 minutes until a marked junction with the Larsen trail.
Note: If you reached an obvious creek crossing with eroded banks you have passed this junction by a couple of minutes.
Go left (north) and up following the Larsen trail - the trail is marked with square orange/red markers.
Follow Larsen up for another 30-45 minutes, keeping left at a Y junction higher up, until you join the BCMC trail near its marker 29 (of 50).
Follow the marked and numbered BCMC trail all the way up to arrive at the Grouse Mountain chalet.
Retrace your steps back, or take the Gondola down ($20 cost, payable at the chalet).
Note: Please do not descend the Grouse Grind - not permitted and is annoyingly crowded.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
