Description

Added by John Entwistle

One of the smaller parks in whistler with amazing docks, grassy areas, and a dog park!

Located in Whistler Creekside, Alpha Lake Park is one of Whistler's hidden gems. Just off of Lake Placid road on the North Side of the Highway, there is lots of parking in the parking lot, or it is accessible directly via the valley trail for walkers and bikers. To access, turn on to Lake Placid road North at the Husky station on Highway 99.

The park is well suited for hang outs with several docks, a beach, slackline posts, a volleyball court, a playground, and large grassy areas.

If you are a pacific northwest resident, look at getting an edge card, which provides you with a di...

Depending on how ambitious your group is, you can start in Whistler Village, or drive up to the Stonebridge trailhead. From the Stonebridge trailhead, you will take the Darwin's trail climb up to the Rainbow flank trail.

Just don’...

From the parking lot (pay attention to pay parking times), walk west towards the clubhouse, where you will find the entrance to the Valley trail. Although the trail goes for many kilometres in either direction, this particular stretch ...

Hike the Musical Bumps Trail

The Musical Bumps are a series of rolling summits starting from Whistler Mountain that stretch over to Fissile and the Spearhead Range. It should come as no surprise that each one has a musical name: Flute, Oboe and Piccolo.There are two ways to access this area: you can ride the Whistler Village Gondola ($53 for a day pass or just $59 for BC residents for the entire summer season) or hike from...
