Just love watching Grinder and Coola on webcam. A great way to see them in their own environment. We are from Australia and visit Vancouver when we can. Have been watching the antics of these 2 amazing bears for many years. Thank you Grouse Mountain for giving us the opportunity to see Grinder and Coola on the webcams. Sleep well boys and we will look in on you every day. Keith and Karen
2. Peak 2 Peak Gondola
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8,769 reviews
Whistler’s Peak 2 Peak Gondola offers the most accessible and awe-inspiring scenic experience in all of Canada’s Coast Mountains. Suspended a record 436 metres above the valley floor, the Gondola transports guests over the 4.4km span between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains year-round. Skiers and boarders can easily take advantage of all 8171 acres of terrain offered in the winter season, and hikers/sightseers enjoy terrific views of the region’s glaciers and peaks, as well as access to an expanded trail network on both mountains in the summer season.

We went to Whistler, took the gondola up Whistler Mountain which takes approx 25 minutes, then the Peak 2 Peak gondola to Blackcomb takes another 11 minutes. We took the glass bottom gondola back to the Whistler side where there is hike you can take to reach the ski lifts to take you to the very top where there is a new attraction- the Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven's Eye. It is spectacular! The ski lift was a bit unnerving for someone like me as I have never been skiing and it's an open air chair lift - and it is high, like, really HIGH up there. The ski lift ride takes about 10 minutes. Once you reach the top you can walk around on easier trails for the most amazing views; walk on the Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven's Eye outlook and then you take the ski lift back down a level where you will hike back to the gondola level. The hike is only about 10 minutes but may not be suitable for all health conditions as it is hilly and composed of dirt and gravel. You should wear good walking shoes. There is a height restriction to ride the ski lift. It is very cold up there so you need to wear layers. We initially had trouble locating the Peak 2 Peak starting point, but we asked at the gallery and they were most helpful. You should park in lots 1 - 5 and go to the Upper Village.The starting point is right in the Village. Whistler is such a friendly place, so do not be afraid to ask someone for information.

Open year-round, the Sea to Sky Gondola is located 2km south of Squamish, BC along the beautiful Sea to Sky highway. The Sea to Sky Gondola is a wheelchair and stroller accessible 10 minute ride accessing walking & hiking trails, a suspension bridge, tube park (winter only) and local fare in the Summit Lodge.

Absolutely amazing views!!!Well worth the cost of admission World class attraction.I recommend checking weather forecast as you want to go on a clear day.Also going during the week there will be lots of parking and less people for a more secluded feel on the trails.The day I was there a wedding was taking place so Romantic!!!Well marked trails and dog friendly.The only downside was food and drink s were expensive so i suggest packing your own lunch/brunch/dinner.Over all great experience for couples and families alike.

Rent a car in Vancouver and drive the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler. It is an amazingly beautiful drive and the Gondola ride up and down is fantastic. Coming down we saw a black bear just sauntering up the ski lift area looking for blueberries. The scenery is amazing. Once up, you must take the next gondola...Peak to Peak.
5. Hell's Gate Airtram

Drive the Scenic Fraser Canyon with its’ seven mountain tunnels through the historic heart of British Columbia and relive the biggest ‘rush’ on the Gold Rush Trail. A location so unique the ‘afterlife’ have come back to use it as a playground. Early explorers refer to it as “a place where no human being should venture”, and man & nature battle here for supremacy.

The views are amazing and the information about Indigenous people, the fisheries and Simon Fraser are so interesting. The Fraser River gorge is beautiful!We loved that everything was well spaced and mostly outdoors , the Covid safety measures were very well planned.... it’s a great place to visit with family and very safe..
