This is Crown Mountain, I climbed it 4 times this year but I think 20 in total
It's my favorite local mountain to hike first you climb the Grouse Grind. In the past I usually used the BCHC Trail that parralls the Grind, it's much steeper but is used very rarely, it's in horrible condition. haha this year I cheated and took the Gondola to the top of the Grind. From the to Ski area it is about a 5 hour round trip. You make your way up Goat Ridge. Then you decend down for about 1500 feet (about the length of the Grind). Then you hike up the other side of Crown Valley for about 3000 feet. It's like The Grouse Grind x 10. It's not easy! But it's so worth it when you get to the top Crown Mountain  up crown valley  The tough part about the hike is once you climb the Grind, then hike up for another hour or so, you need to go all the way down the other side to the bottom, then you see this, knowing you gotta go all the way back up!  On my way  At the top!     on our way back down
