It’s summertime in Vancouver and it was time to hit the road and do some adventure. I wanted to do some hiking and explore Canada. I selected the Whistler area since it has great options for me to engage with. I posted an event “Whistler 360 adventure tour” on 25th July and booked a tour with West Trek Tours.
First I encourage you to watch my short recap video to see how I enjoyed my day.
Whistler is a popular destination all year round with countless sightseeing and activity opportunities. The greatest season to visit Whistler for adventure is from April through October. This time, I wanted to go trekking and see some places that people frequent but are less well-known to tourists. To take advantage of the magnificent stops along the Sea-to-Sky expressway, I chose to go by tour bus. Additionally, I could take a tour of Whistler Village after I arrived in Whistler.
Also, I had the option of joining a walk to explore Lost Lake or enrolling up for an extra activity like bungee jumping with Whistler Bungee or zip trekking with Zip Trek Eco Tours. The Whistler Gondola and Peak 2 Peak, where anyone can enjoy breath-taking scenery, superb hiking paths, and a new suspension bridge, are other fantastic activities for the less adventurous. There are so many options, that is why I chose Whistler as my first summer weekend getaway.
I charged my devices and all equipment that I need before joining the trip. I went to Canada Place to get the bus in the morning. It was very nice meeting a fantastic local guide, Camilia, a Canadian Local guide level 7. Along the way to the destination, I got briefed about the Whistler village and area. Sea-to-Sky highway itself is scenic. Our first stop was the Shannon Falls at Squamish which was my first waterfall hunt in Canada. Then we arrived at Whistler village. After a short tour around Whistler village, I decided to go find the Lost Lake. It was about one hour hike through the nature trek from the Whistler Village.
Surprisingly I was lucky enough to meet a bear on my first hike in Canada. Hiking through nature after a long time was refreshing. I had some quality time spending time at the beach of Lost Lake. It was blessed with sunny clear weather with clear and spectacular views of glazier mountains from the lake. I sketched the landscape to add to my collection and I did not forget to capture some 360 footage to add to Google Map as always I do.
I missed my LG partner @ravindus a lot. If you were here I know that you would join me for this adventure.
Here is the shared photo album of the event.
