A Day Trip to Whistler


Today we picked up by Doreen (a friend of Kathleen and Greg's) and taken on a day's outing to Whistler. This is a 120km drive through stunning scenery. British Columbia is very green. (Probably because it rains a lot.) The sky was exceptionally blue and the mountains still had a bit of snow on the very top.



The first stop was at Shannon falls. 


All along the motorway I kept seeing signs that said ; Look out for bears, do not stop to view,do not feed them and no matter how hard I looked I could not find any. That was until I got to whistler and look what I found.

We wandered around the village. It was fascinating to see the ski lifts being used to take mountain bikes up the mountain. The guys were coming down the ski races to thebottom, hosing the bikes down and lining up again for another run. They were well covered in protective gear.

We discovered there was a free shuttle bus to the Lost Lake. So we grabbed the picnic lunch and waited for the bus. We found a table and got out our picnic.
