The story of our trip to the Chief today still cracks me up right now. So basically, we didn't go. This trip was doomed from the start. The weather wasn't that great today. The one day in the week that it was supposed to rain was today. We had the most clueless guide (there were two, the other was okay--knowledgeable, but not very nice). So we start off and she said we had to go pick up the other guide in North Vancouver somewhere (we're in a mini-bus). As she crosses the Lion's Gate Bridge, she ran over a pylon and we all freaked out like, "What was that?!" And the woman was so oblivious to it, like nothing was wrong. We stopped at the shopping centre to pick up the other guide and get coffee. She didn't even get out to check if everything was okay on the bus.
Then we stop for gas and get on our merry way to Squamish. But we had barely driven a few kilometres on the highway in West Vancouver and the car started giving up so she had to pull over. Then, (THE PUNCHLINE) our guide/driver realized she put gasoline in a vehicle that required diesel................... A W E S O M E...........................
Long story short from this point on. The second guide decided to arrange a makeshift hike near by where we broke down. But me, my sister, and friend didn't want to do this hike for what we paid since it was an easily accessible one. We could do that any day. We all had to take the bus, so we had to walk along the highway for a couple of kilometres until we got back into the city. Then walk more to the bus stop.... it took us 2 hours to get back to where we parked our car once we got on the bus. Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous!
So not impressed.... will post photos of our scenic highway hike soon. In the end, the 3 of us just decided we'll do the Chief on our own terms, on a sunnier day, another time. Till then, I'm going to fight to get my money back, plus transport costs back.
