Grouse Tram

[Drail]

alright, so tomorrow I was planning on hiking the Hanes Valley from Grouse down to Lynn Canyon, but I checked the Grouse website and they say it's $38 to go up the tram? wtf? Anyone know if there's any way to get up there for cheaper, or is it really $38 for a ride up on the tram?

can't you just walk up for free?

 

[jason...]

^^^^ Yeah, ever heard of the Grouse Grind? Free walk up!

walking straight up a mountain before doing a 17km hike through the mountains doesn't sound very fun.

Its only an extra K or 2 man, you can do it and save the 37$ on weed for the trip.

forget the 17km and just do the grouse grind 2 or 3 times haha

 

[buchanan.]

the grind really isnt that bad man. its like an hour, mabey chill for a little bit up top. dunno, i guess if your hiking after you'd have to do it pretty early. doing a big hike up around there would be siiiick tho.

fail.

if you dont want pay then walk up

if you dont want walk up then pay the 38 bucks

if you dont want to do either then dont do it.

 

[hue.]

or just dont go on a lame hike,

so, fyi - i didn't end up going. this is the, fuck, feels like millionth time i had plans of heading up grouse (for hiking, skiing, whatever) and didn't end up going. every time i think about going to grouse for a ski (usually in the spring after seymour is closed), i do the math and say "fuck grouse", end up driving up to whistler instead... grouse sucks, they need to smarten up and stop being so damn expensive.

38 sounds really high. i did that hike earlier this year and I don't think I payed that much... I can't see myself forking out that much. I will say that their so dirty they tried to charge me multiple times (we spent the nice just above hanes, so they wanted us to pay full price to go up, then the $5 to get down), but I wouldn't stand for that. You could avoid the grind and do the BCMC trail; it's a little longer, but fewer stairs/people.
