TRAIN WRECK HIKE (2.5 hours)

Along the way there are several vantage points along the river with spectacular views and photo opportunities. At the wreck there are 5 train cars scattered along the forest floor with massive Coastal evergreen trees that have grown around them. Some local artists have decorated the cars with amazing graffiti work.
FIRE AND ICE
The
Whistler Experience Guide will escort you on a short 10min walk to a
