You can hike the Grouse Grind if you are a moderate hiker; I very much do not recommend this for beginners. You can take the tram up the mountain for stellar views of the city day or night most of the year and you can ski it in the winter and see the city lights on clear nights. They've added a feature where you can ride on the top of the tram :)
