#2 long weekend road trip

British Columbia

You’re going to love Whistler

Head north up the Sea to Sky Highway (BC-99) for the 1.5 hour drive to Whistler Mountain. Pack your gear because this weekend will be full of hiking, outdoor adventure and nights spent under the stars. Whistler is also a great family destination, with plenty of treks and activities available for all ages.

Whistler is great for outdoor adventure, nature and golf.

Hacker tip

Pack your binoculars. Summertime at Whistler makes for some fantastic bear-watching (though, of course, keep your distance).
