- Oksana D10 contributionsBeautiful experience with the family. Worth going up Whistler Mt, grabbing a bite at the restaurant or cafe there, take photos by the Olympic rings and then enjoy the Peak 2 Peak trip to Blackcomb!

- Li JTampa, FL28 contributionsAwesome spot for a day hike near Whistler or Vancouver. It's got stunning views and is totally worth the trip. Just a heads up, you'll need a free permit in advance during the high season. You can get it online starting at 7 am two days before your visitWritten November 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Les De QUtrecht, The Netherlands2,482 contributionsA wonderful place to realize that some things take a while to be formed - there is no rushing the formation of a river. Well explained with diagrams and models, the history and formation of the falls is clearly visible. A great gentle stroll.Written November 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rekha YVancouver, Canada6 contributionsLost lake is a must visit for people who loves nature and hikes. Its not very touristy hence the crowd and noise is less. It's half an hour walk from whistle village . The trail around the lake is a good walk for nature lovers. It's one of the easiest trail in Whistler BC Canada.Written October 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carin PSydney, Australia62 contributionsThis was a great experience! Has a free guided tour every hour! You pay once and can come back and visit as many times as you like .

- FairycakesBristol168 contributionsVery short and manageable route if you don't want a long hike. It's a well marked gravel trail and you can't really go wrong. There's a suspension bridge across the creak and a load of train wrecked carriages. Great for kids! If the first carpark is full there is an overflow futher up.Written August 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Henry’s TakeSan Diego, CA1,431 contributionsTrail 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.

- Christina RPortland, OR132 contributionsWhistler Village is such a delightful place to visit! The festive holiday decorations and twinkling Christmas lights made it feel magical. There’s a fantastic variety of restaurants to choose from, along with plenty of touristy shops to explore. Ski shops and outdoor clothing stores are everywhere, and it’s great to see popular brands like Lululemon and Aritzia in the mix. The lively atmosphere and beautiful setting make it a perfect spot to stroll, shop, and dine. Highly recommend!Written December 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bob BBrackendale, Canada79 contributionsWant to channel your inner biathlon rifle shooting energy? A Biathlon Rifle Shooting experience at the Whislter Olympic Park will satisfy this desire. We went up on a sunny Sunday to be shown how biathletes shoot their 22 rifles at distant targets. With the demo done, it’s time for you to follow their lead and fire away at the targets. You are given the option of choosing a wide or narrower target. I did pretty well on my first round, then moved to the narrower target…it was more challenging...have to keep your sighting really steady.
It’s interesting to hear the guide relate of the routine the biathletes go through. Another interesting thing is that the positions visitors shoot from are the one closest to the wind blocking wall. These are the priority ones for the athletes would compete to get, as the ones farther away from the wall would encounter more wind, which can affect the shooting.
The Biathlon Shooting is done in a social distancing manner. Disc Golf is also offered. The Biathlon experience is offered Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday until August 30th. There is also a winter Biathlon shooting experienced offered.
After our shooting experience, we hiked around, catching a look at the ski jump set-ups. The big bonus was walking around in the fresh alpine air.Written August 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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!Written October 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lang E9 contributionsMy wife and I took a day trip to the Callaghan Valley from Vancouver. We purchased day passes from the user friendly website. On Monday we left at 8am and arrived around 945am. Drive was easy, traffic was light. Woman running the rental shop was very good. Pleasantly surprised to learn that as grandparents we got the Monday parents discount. ($17 off rentals). Glorious sun filled day. Perfect conditions. Spectacular scenery. All sorts of terrain to choose from. Not crowded at all as we shared to trails with a only few families. We skied for about 4 hours and ate our packed lunch brought from home about half way thru. Returned our rented skis and had an easy sunny drive home. A great day in the snow. Wonderful facility practically in our backyard.Written March 16, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NanaGoesALotSteilacoom, WA4 contributionsFound this park by accident but so enjoyed the stop there. Summer weather in October so warm enough to go swimming. No crowds. New facilities. Floating dock to swim to. Pet friendly, There's an off lease area and the pups were having a blast. Be alert for bears; we saw one there by the bike path chomping away on the grass. People just stood still watching him. Then he lumbered across the road by the car park and headed off in search of more food. Worth a visit if you want a drive-about.Written October 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
