The Abby Grind or the Abbotsford Grind Hike in Abbotsford is part of the Glen Ryder Trail and Taggart Peak. It is a favorite "cardio training" hiking route and is a decidedly less steep and less long alternative to The Grouse Grind. The route starts uphill and continues to rise rapidly in an uphill zigzag route with rapid switchbacks all the way over short 330m over a distance of 4km. The hike is absolutely a great cardio workout!

The trail has a beautiful woodland setting. The first sign is and about 1/2 way where there is the first viewpoint the second to reach the top. Both get great views of the Fraser Valley, nearby farmland, and mountains.

I love this hike even though it is absolutely a great short but good cardio workout and beautiful scenery!
