Bears 1- Marmots 3
Whistler in Summer - Last Day Mon Aug 9 Blackcomb Gondola - we were staying just on the left Nick had said we would like Whistler in summer. Past visits have been in the depths of winter when temperatures have reached as low as -16C, rather than the mid thirties we enjoyed last week. It is an adventure playground and there is a huge amount to do. There are more hiking trails than we could walk in years. The lakes are well served with canoe and kayak rentals; it's possible to rent bikes and ski-lift them up the mountain if you are into that sort of thing. There an increasing number of e-bikes for those who prefer to take the strain out of the pedalling. Camping in the mountains is stunning, but proper bear precautions are needed. There are opportunities for sightseeing helicopter/float plane flights, organised 4wd/ATV bear-trips. The list goes on and it suits all ages. Oh and of course the wildlife. Bear climb...
