Oct 14, 2026, 9:07 PMI think I'm leaning towards option 3. But oooboy I'm not loving the travel logistics. Amtrak will get me to Vancouver at (hypothetically) 5pm or 10pm. Which means I'll likely have to get a hotel room in Vancouver before moving on to Squamish. Which mean $$ for the hotel and another day on the trip (and more money for the dog sitter). I thought there might be a ferry but I'm not finding one.
@Karstan *bookmarks mtn fun basecamp link* also, option 3 sounds like more of a hassle. why not 2 and be with your pups?? 👀 though i am biased because if i could take my dog with me everywhere, i would lol
Oct 14, 2026, 10:20 PM@programmablecat I'm worried my dogs might be a bit of a hassle too. I'll definitely be limited in what activities I can do in Squamish if I take them.
@Karstan no, 100% I get that. hope you were able to figure out a happy middle!
Oct 15, 2026, 6:27 PM@programmablecat Still working on it. I've got some time before I have to make that particular decision, but I think I've settled on camping. I just can't financially justify anything more expensive.
