Yep, KB.... these places are on the list.
Do you think it's worth joining a tour to the Whistler, Grouse
Mt, Capilano Bridge etc? We are not going to drive as we will
be driving on the different side of the road from what we have used
to in Oz...... Don't think it's a good idea especially we are
probably still feeling tired from the long haul flight.
Anyway, how did you get up there? Did you have a car?
You can take a Greyhound bus to Whistler but it's a 2-hour ride.
I joined my relations living there and we drove up.
You can get a public transport day pass for CAN$9 at 7-Eleven or
Mac's (not McDonald's). Take the sea bus from Waterfront Station to
Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver and from there, bus no. 236 takes
you to Capilano Bridge, the hatchery and Grouse mountain in 30-40
min.
The bridge, the trails (which lead up to Cleaveland Dam) and the
hatchery are worth a visit. They were at our doorstep so it was
easy for me. There isn't a great deal to see up on Grouse Mountain
at this time of the year aside from the bear and wolf enclosures
and a lumberjack show though.
