Dear Editor:

RE: Grouse Grind closing in early September for major improvements

Recent letters to the editor spoke against the upcoming closure of the Grouse Grind. This closure enables changes to the trailhead that are designed to increase user knowledge and safety on this challenging hiking trail.

The temporary closure of the Grouse Grind is an opportunity to try something new. There is a plethora of amazing hiking trails on the North Shore, including the BCMC Trail near the Grind. Rather than grouse about the trail being closed, embrace the opportunity for new experiences.
