Whistler Blackcomb

Alpine hiking trails with incredible views are easily accessible by gondola (lift tickets required). On both mountains, choose from short, family-friendly strolls on wide paths to more advanced hikes. Summer is the optimal time for birding adventures on the mountains. Olive-sided Flycatchers, various raptors, and White-tailed Ptarmigan are only a few of the birds that can be seen at these heights. As the winter moves in, there are less birds and skiing or snowshoe equipment is required to move about. (Info courtesy of Karl Ricker and Jim Wharin, Whistler Naturalists)
