Whistler historyThis lush valley was first inhabited by the Lil’wat and Squamish Nations and introduced to European settlement by a survey party from the British Navy. When the Pemberton Trail first connected the region to the Pacific Ocean in 1877, the inland route quickly brought prospectors and trappers to the area with nearby Alta Lake, becoming a focal point in the untamed frontier area. In 1914, the immense potential for recreation in the scenic valley drew Myrtle and Alex Philips from America. The tireless couple bought 10 acres of land near Alta Lake and built the Rainbow Lodge, which entertained Whistler’s first tourists with stellar trout fishing. When the Great Pacific Eastern Railway expanded into Whistler Valley shortly after, travel to the region became easier and the Rainbow Lodge was soon one of British Columbia’s top tourist destinations. Whistler has seen steady growth through the 20th and 21st centuries, bringing it today to an internationally-renowned, four season destination.First forged by the Philip’s at their Rainbow Lodge, warm weather recreation has long been central to Whistler and still thrives in this rugged natural setting thanks to stunning mountain ranges complemented by glacier-fed lakes, rivers, alpine meadows and lush rainforest.

get outside! Whistler
hikes & Walks Whistler is a great area for hiking and walking, whether you’re interested in a casual stroll or looking to really challenge yourself with a mountainous vertical hiking adventure. Easy walks suitable for the whole family, kids and seniors included, are found in the Village and surrounding streets, where you can wander through the lush Whistler landscape, making plenty of stops for awesome photo opportunities. There are also more moderate offerings for people who’d like to experience more of the natural beauty of Whistler but may not be up for a full day of hiking. And for thrill seekers, there are long, steep, challenging trails, leading high into the alpine terrain. The Valley Trail is paved, mostly flat and winds for 20 km (12.4 miles) through the valley bottom. Walk as much or as little as you want. There are more than 30 km (18.7 miles) of trails in Lost Lake Park, from flat to steep, from easy to difficult. You can do a short loop around Lost Lake or chart your own course to take in more of the forest and mountain views (see Map 10).Cheakamus Lake is a cold glacial-fed lake surrounded by the breathtaking Coast Mountain range. The High Note Trail begins from the top of the Peak Chair on Whistler Mountain, offering spectacular views of the brilliant blue lake. Linking up with the Singing Pass trail, hikers can make their way back to the Roundhouse Lodge or continue on down to Whistler Village. This trail is not to be missed as it is guaranteed to give hikers some of the best views in North America. Hiking at Whistler Blackcomb is even better when experienced with a true Whistler local. Complimentary guided tours navigate Whistler Mountain’s vast alpine environment. Take a walk on the wild side with a glacial hike atop Whistler or Blackcomb Mountain. Outfitted with boots, crampons and an ice axe, you will learn how to walk using glacier equipment and take a tour around Whistler Blackcomb’s three ancient glaciers.
From the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, to alpine hiking and
sightseeing at the top of the world, and the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, Whistler in summer has exploded with amazing activities and adventures to keep you going for days. You’ll find plenty of fresh experiences here, and wish you had way more time to discover them all. Guess you’ll have to make it a regular vacation spot every year! St

Up in the air In Whistler, you can take to the skies to experience a gentle sightseeing flight, or go for an exhilarating soaring adventure, high above the mountains. Leave the Whistler valley behind in a helicopter, and fly deep into the pristine and rugged landscape that gives these coastal mountains their sublime character. Enjoy a gourmet heli-picnic, or go walking on a glacier. For a change of pace, try a scenic, silent soar over the Pemberton and Whistler area in a glider! Who said the sky’s the limit?

get outside! WhistlerWater sports & Beaches Whistler is an exciting outdoor playground, and when the summer heat gets too hot, water babies head for the surrounding pristine lakes to enjoy an abundance of aquatic adventures. So whether you’re a fan of adrenaline seeking or just want to relax on the shore with a blanket and great book, Whistler has you covered. Take a canoe trip on the mellow waters of the River of Golden Dreams or Alta Lake to get a
unique perspective on the Whistler landscape. Canoes can be rented in town and you have a choice of joining a guided tour or venturing out on your own course of blissful aquatic discovery.

A lazy day at the beach can be enjoyed at any one of the valley lakes, which are generally warm and kid-friendly. Lakeside Park, Wayside Park and Rainbow Park are great places to start. Looking for a lure? Whistler has a stunning variety of pristine fishing spots, perfect for finding the “big one.” Head to the Village to find several tour operators who can lead you out on guided fishing tours, loaded with secret spots where the fish are biting.

Mountain Biking & cycling At the more relaxed end of the cycling spectrum is the 20- kilometre-long Valley Trail, which is a wide paved path winding north to Green Lake from Alpha Lake. And beginner and intermediate riders will love the beautiful Lost Lake trails for their tranquility and amazing scenery. Westside and northside trails tend to have more challenging routes with names like Kill Me Thrill Me, No Girly Man and White Knuckles. Check in at the Whistler Visitor Information Centre to learn more. 4230 gateway Drive | 604.935.3357 | whistler.com

get outside! Whistlerserious & not-so-serious adventures If your vacation demands excitement, try zip-lining over Whistler’s forest canopy, rock climbing the Sea to Sky’s granite faces or experience the rush of rap jumping off the top of Whistler Peak, 1,500m (5,000 feet) above the valley floor. Rap jumping is face-forward rappelling where you lower yourself over a dramatic rock face. Guaranteed to get the adrenaline pumping.Designed for anybody of reasonable fitness level, Via Ferrata (Italian for “iron way”) combines a trek over one of Whistler’s ancient glaciers with rock climbing. Via Ferrata Ascents include a four-hour excursion to the summit of Whistler Peak via a series of metal ladder rungs. If those activities seem a little too hardcore, try a TreeTrek walk through the treetops on suspension bridges and boardwalks, or a beginner’s climb on either the outdoor climbing wall at the base of Blackcomb, or an indoor climbing wall. Or, you can climb to the top of beautiful mountain peaks, explore hidden valleys and blast through mud pits on an ATV! There’s no end to the adventures you can experience in Whistler.
Whistler Mountain Bike park This is one of the most popular parks of its kind in the world, with international riders heading here to turn out tricks and have a blast on the over 250km (155 miles) of lift-serviced downhill trails. These amazing descents provide hours of fun and challenges for thrill seekers of all levels and experience. Trails are labeled by level of difficulty from green runs for beginners to blue and black diamond trails in the main bike park. Trails range
from gentle banked cruisers through the Coastal forest to tight and twisty single track, perfect for intermediate riders. For more advanced gravity junkies, there are steep rock faces, gnarly root-strewn lines, drop-offs of all descriptions and tons more. (see Map 10 and 11)

Be(ar) careful!
The Whistler Get Bear Smart Society (GBS) and Bear Aware BC, champion progressive management policies that reduce both the number of human-bear conflicts and the number of bears destroyed. For more information visit bearsmart.com or bearaware.bc.ca, and to report a conflict or bear attractants, such as unsecured garbage, call 604.905.BEar (2327).
Remember to always be alert and “bear smart” in bear country. With your cooperation, bears and people can happily coexist. “The Bears Thank You!”
Black bears hibernate through the winter and are most active from mid-March to November. When awake, their constant search for food may draw them into unexpected, populated urban areas.
Seeing a bear in its natural habitat can be a memorable experience, but please respect and help protect our bears. Being aware of bears and following a few simple guidelines can help ensure that any encounters with bears are positive and conflict free.
n Be prepared. Learn as much as you can about bear behaviour before venturing into bear country and remember you might encounter them in unexpected places. n Be aware of your surroundings and scan the area for signs of recent bear activity. If you see tracks, scat, tree markings or a natural food source, be extremely cautious and consider an alternate route or postpone your trip. n Never feed a bear, either intentionally or unintentionally. Properly dispose of garbage, wherever possible, in a bear-proof container and — if camping — ensure that unattended
campsites remain free of bear attractants, such as food. n Respect all bears (and other wildlife!). Give them plenty of space and do not approach them. No one should be encouraged to feed, pet or pose for a photo with a bear. If you want to take pictures, use a telephoto lens from a safe distance. n Never stop on the side of the road to photograph a bear, even if others are doing so. Many bears lose their lives each year as a result of preventable run-ins with people and their vehicles. Call 604.905.BEAR (2327) to report any and all bear conflicts.
Whistler is
located
in prime black
bear country so
whether you’re
enjoying a walk
along a local
trail or hiking
the backcountry,
you may
encounter
black bears.
