Whistler Mountain Bike Park

Whistler Mountain Bike Park has something for every level of rider. Gentle, banked cruisers through the Coastal forest. Tight and twisty single track - perfect for intermediate riders. For the armour clad, full face wearing, 50lb. bike group there are steep rock faces, gnarly, root strewn lines, drop offs of all descriptions and more.

Excellent organisation of the lifts, very smooth operation. Brilliant variety of graded trails which you can work your way through. Good for experienced cyclists, but challenging for the absolute beginner. Worth hiring protective gear if you haven't taken yours. Check when the season starts and finishes before you go. Although it looked busy from the bottom, once on the hill you meet very few people. Worth checking out the various bike hire places for the best deals and booking in advance. Plenty of good bars and restaurants nearby too.

Stawamus Chief Park

Reviewed By 304stephiec - London, Canada

I did The Chief! What a challenging feat of a climb. Only 5km, by heart pumping all the way straight up 2149 feet. Stunning views of Howe Lake, Garibaldi peaks and Squamish. Reviews talk of crowds, but for a time, I was alone with The big Chief. This is one of the largest granite monoliths in the world. Take water, lunch or protein and enough daylight to take your time. Not a walk in the park! A massage the following day is highly advisable unless you are in tip top shape. I'm in great shape and still was glad to have booked a massage as I was a wee tender from the ascension ????

Mount Warburton Pike

Reviewed By Canucksontheloose - Victoria, Canada

The drive up Mount Warbuton Pike was doable in a Prius hybrid as long as you are careful. Just a narrow dirt road with small potholes winding up the mountain. Learn to tuck in and wait when you see an oncoming car (and there is no room for both of you to pass each other). The views are fantastic at the top: you see Pender Islands, Salt Spring, Vancouver Island and of course, the US San Juan Islands on a sunny day. We even saw feral goats while walking the ridge! Trail leads into forests and ridge can be steep and slippy so wear good hiking shoes and sunhat. Plenty of free parking at summit. Lots of birds flying below. Cool!

Mouse Mountain

Reviewed By Tainer7 - Fraser Lake, Canada

Mouse Mountain is called this due to its space. When traveling from Burns Lake into Fraser Lake you can see the shape of the mountain perfectly. It is a bit of a steep hike but once at the top you get a wonderful view of the village. The picture is from my work place, Mouse Mountain Elementary School.

Stone Mountain Provincial Park

Reviewed By scottofcanada - Dutton/Dunwich, Canada

Beautiful Northern BC. The scenery is fantastic with lots of steep roads and curves to keep you focused. I always see lots of wildlife through here including caribou and Dahl sheep. Have your camera ready! On the way back through it was getting dark and there were lots of fog/clouds. Drive slow and pay attention!

Mt. Robson

Reviewed By EkMusafir - Pune, India

Mount Robson located in the Mount Robson Provincial Park of British Columbia is the highest peak in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The peak stands at an elevation of 3954 meters or 12972 feet. The Fraser River originates as a trickle from up this mountain eventually flowing down to the Pacific Ocean. It can be easily seen and photographed from the Yellowhead Highway and the VIA Rail train running from Jasper to Prince Rupert. The nearest towns are Jasper in the east and Valemount in the south-west. We passed Mount Robson twice while doing the VIA Rail trip from Jasper to Prince George and back. The first time we passed it was covered by thick clouds so we did not get to see the peak, but on the return trip we got a clear view of the high mountain and took some pictures too. It was an impressive sight to behold.

Rainbow Mountain

Tired of fighting the crowds at ski resorts? This snow-covered mountain is so isolated, you'll need a helicopter to get there.
