WHISTLER has been on the bucket list for such a long time and having heard so many good things about it from others along our journey through Canada we were DELIGHTED to finally arrive. It certainly did not disappoint.

Finally meeting bears was a definite highlight as we'd eagerly anticipated seeing many bears along the way. The excitement and awe of these powerful beasts left us on an adrenaline high, especially seeing them do their thing in the most natural way. A memory to last a lifetime for sure.

Aside from bears, Whistler was magical in many ways from the many biking trails, the crystal clear lakes to splash in, beautiful walking trails and sightseeing in the gondola. The town itself is immaculate and lovely to wander through and loose a few hours people watching. Whistler we WILL be back!

Harrison Hot Springs / Sasquatch was a great spot where the kids got to experience their first hot springs and learn about the legend of Bigfoot. Brilliant cafes, restaurants and woodland camping. We were happy to be there.

This stage of the trip was also a final farewell to the RV. A noble steed that kept us safe while living on the road. We highly recommend an RV adventure.
