Garibaldi Park BC - Whistler, Vancouver, Squamish - GaribaldiPark.com

Garibaldi Provincial Park is a favorite destination of outdoor enthusiasts: it offers a range of hiking opportunities from lush alpine meadows, wildlife viewing opportunities, alpine flowers blooming in lush meadows, and hikes ranging from a few hours to a few days using map and compass. Garibaldi Park has an interesting geological background as it was created by volcanic action which created the formation of many of the park’s peaks; the Black Tusk, Price Mountain, The Table, Mount Garibaldi, the CinderCone and the Glacier Pikes just to name a few. Lava from Clinker Peak is responsible for the creation of The Barrier. Behind this natural dam 300 metre deep Garibaldi Lake was formed.

The Sea to Sky Climb on the Rocky Mountaineer - Whistler Train

On a sunny and clear day, is there any scenery in the world more breathtaking than the towering mountains and sparkling waters that surround you as you travel up the Sea to Sky Highway?

However, throw in bumper-to-bumper traffic and unexpected delays and the journey can be less than relaxing.

Well, what if you could slow down and really enjoy that beautiful scenery without the worry of the car in front or behind you and the twists and turns of the highway? What if you could actually relax and make the travelling portion of the trip a highlight? Well you can. Take the train! The Rocky Mountaineer Whistler Sea to Sky Climb to be exact.

The train starts in North Vancouver, goes through Howe Sound, Squamish, Cheakamus Canyon, and then ends 3 hours later in Whistler. While it can be fun to drive the Sea to Sky highway in a sportscar when there's no traffic, taking the train can be the perfect way to beat the heavy & slow summer Sea to Sky Whistler tourist traffic.
