caption_attribution_description: English: A destroyed General Electric J47 aircraft engine in the woods on the south side of Grouse Mountain. This is on a trail that runs straight along a cut in the fores from North Vancouver (Mont-Royale area) due north to the Grouse Mt. skiing area, along which a chairlift system operated in the 1950s. The location is near the site of a 1954 crash of an USAF F-86D Sabre aircraft (s/n 51-2987) ( http://www.ufobc.ca/kinross/otherMyst/otherMystGrouseMtnCrash.htm ), so this probably is (part of) the engine of the destroyed aircraft.

With a maximum elevation of over 1,200 m at its peak, the mountain is the site of an alpine ski area, Grouse Mountain Resort, which overlooks Metro Vancouver has four chairlifts servicing 33 runs. In the summer, Grouse Mountain Resort features lumberjack shows, the "Birds in Motion" birds of prey demonstration, a scenic chairlift ride, disc golf, mountain biking, zip lining, tandem paragliding, helicopter tours, and guided ecowalks. Year-round operations include a 100-seat mountaintop theatre and a wildlife refuge. The mountain operates two aerial tramways, known officially as the Skyride. The Blue Skyride is used mainly for freight transportation, while public access to the mountain top is provided by the Swiss-built Garaventa Red Skyride, which has a maximum capacity of 101 passengers. Summer access is also provided by the 2.9 kilometre Grouse Grind hiking trail, which is open for hiking from May to October.
