    Close to the Olympic Village just to the South of Whistler, this is definitely worth a visit. With two parking lots available on Janes Lake Road the trail is a pleasant stroll through the woods to a bouncy suspension bridge, on the other side of which lay seven wrecked train carriages from a derailment in 1956. Two information boards explain what happened and how the carriages came to be where they are. Now covered in graffiti the carriages make for an incongruous site in the forest. Two of the carriages require walking a little further but it’s worth the effort.

    Trail Series, Part 34
    “Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle. I want to ride my bicycle, bicycle, bicycle. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like.”
    Queen

    Does riding a bike while in the mountains sound appealing, but the part that involves barreling down bumpy terrain that makes your teeth chatter, maybe not so much? Well not to worry, ‘cuz we’ve got you covered!

    There just happens to be approximately 50 km of trails in and around the Whistler Village that are easily navigated (and numerous opportunities to rent your bike and safety equipment).

    We began our journey in Whistler Village and rode the Valley Trail on our visits to Lost Lake, Green Lake, Alta Lake, Nita Lake, and Alpha Lake, while enjoying views of the mountains that seemed to surround us on all sides.

    This trail is mostly flat, is maintained in excellent fashion, displays clear directional signage throughout, and nearly all of its sections are paved. While there are some hills to contend with, none of them should discourage riders of any ability level (or those with mobility issues).

    This is a great opportunity to meander off the beaten path and explore some of the nuances of the Whistler Village area, with numerous food or beverage provisions available throughout your self-directed journey.

    In keeping with Canadian tradition, we were careful to pack an “Oh Henry!” bar as part of our emergency rations (which we finally consumed given that none of our adventures this week involved a search and rescue team).

    And that’s…Henry’s Take.

    We did the half-hike (to the lake and back) on a beautiful sunny, cool day. We did the detour to the river (5 mins) and it was definitely worth it! The hike took us about 3.5 hours in total and we're not in the best shape! The views of the lake were stunning and it was great to get to sit by the shore and take in the views at our leisure. Highly recommend!

    Great trail. Beautiful views and quite a workout with a good ascent that might be hard for some. Highly recommended.

    What a fun hike! Goes up and down hills and has a lot of shade. There is one place where you can look out across the valley. The ancient cedars are very cool. The road to get up here is a 4x4 trail, but if you have the right car it is worth it! So green and lush!

    nice walk up the mountain through old growth - it is steep in places but worth the effort for the experience

    Hiked Rainbow Falls again on our last visit to Whistler. It's an easy trail however the trailhead it already up the mountain a bit and then you gain more elevation on the hike. You can quickly go from a thin layer of snow to a foot of snow so wear appropriate footwear. Scenic views of the river as the bridge crosses. The hike takes about an hour.

    Hiked past Logger’s Lake which is a nice scenic lake. Our main goal was the Crater Rim Trail. The is a moderately difficult trail. Would recommend doing the trail counter-clockwise so that you’re climbing to elevation using the switchbacks. We did it the clockwise which was a little more challenging at times. This trail is amazing. Great views and beautiful scenery. Make sure you have good footwear.

    Incredible experience! Office staff were friendly & helpful with booking and upon arrival. Driven to the site by the owner, who gave us a really nice background to how it all started. Arrived at the bridge and everyone there was great, helped calm the pre jump nerves! Felt really safe and looked after at all times. The bungee jump is absolutely incredible and would recommend to anyone! Indescribable feeling, and definitely worth missing out on a day of skiing to visit!! The scenery/views from the bridge alone are stunning, worth a trip for those. Came away with really great photos, the process of seeing the photos and buying was really simple and reasonably priced.

    Everyone should try bungee jumping and this is a great place with wonderful staff!
