What a beautiful and easy hike ! As soon as you take the boat to the other side of lake waterton to goat haunt you com go for it ! Don’t forget to buy two one way tickets as you will need few hours ! There is almost no change in the elevation and is easy enough for kids to go on ! Don’t forget your bug spray tho as there is many of them ! There is a lot of flowers and huckleberry and Saskatoon berry bushes along the way , and in the little muddy areas you can see the wild life imprints of their feet ! Really cool thing to do !
3. The Whistler Train Wreck Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 347 reviews
A long-time favourite among hikers and mountain bikers, Train Wreck features graffiti train cars and spectacular views of Cheakamus River. The trail was built many decades ago. The Resort Municipality of Whistler's new pedestrian bridge creates a safe, legal access point. The bridge connects Train Wreck to the Sea to Sky trail, which is part of the Trans Canada Trail. Associated trail connections have also been built on either side of the bridge. The Train Wreck suspension bridge can be accessed off Jane Lakes Road in the Cheakamus Crossing neighbourhood at the south end of Whistler from two locations: the multi-use singletrack "Trash" trail or the double track Sea to Sky trail

Neat little hike to an old train wreck where the cars are covered in graffiti -- nice urban art in the woods.

It is a 5 hour hike (both ways) but the views are spectacular. You need to take the very rustic 6km dirt road to the parking lot trailhead. Drive slowly, you will see why. Park the car and hit the trail. After 60 minutes of mostly easy trail you will arrive at the lake and it is spectacular. You can turn back there or continue for another 30-60 minutes along the lake.

This is not a very difficult hike but is well worth the time. There are several lookouts and a fun Inukshuk rock along the way. The drive in is interesting - very rough road.

The network of trails is impressive, makes walking, running and biking easy. Ran around the golf course, lots of maps, signs including distances to help make decisions about routes.

We hiked the entire Ascent Trail from the base of Blackcomb to the Rendezvous. We didn't expect the level of steepness in some parts (especially the last part), but we're both seniors in good shape so we made it! Most memorable part was just before we started the last section of the trail and from across the road a bear came out from the trail. We followed our bear etiquette and backed off down the road away from the bear, who crossed the road and went down through a field. We spent the next part of the hike figuring out what we might have done if we had encountered the bear on that narrow, steep section! Thanks to Whistler/ Blackcomb for the work in creating and maintaining this awesome trail!
