Whistler's Hiking Trails

The best part of taking a hike in Whistler is seeing the amazing locations that can only be accessed on foot.

In particular, the mountain hikes provide hikers with unparalleled views of glacier-fed lakes, mountainside valleys, and waterfalls that can only be seen during the summer months.

Always remember to bring your camera along with you on hikes as Whistler wildlife is sure to make an appearance during your trip. Bears, deer, birds, beavers and many other species of wildlife call the Whistler area home.
