Grizzly is the Holy Grail for some but there is a price to be paid. The fees are much higher plus there is that commute to & from the park & the cost of the fuel burned doing it to factor in.
High priced, yes, but the drive to the park entrance is just three blocks. You make it sound like the park is miles away.
Yes the gate is only a few blocks away but the intersection where you go north or south & get into touring the park is at least 15 miles into the park. An interesting drive the first time in but it is repetitive after that. Oh, and how about those lines at the gate? Some have passes. Some don't. Many want to ask the gate keeper a pile of questions like there is nobody else behind them who also want to get in.
When you are in the park, you are in the park. No gate lines. No doing the same busy access road at the begining & end of each day. The fact that inside park CGs reservations are hard to get says something.
