Kees and Claire hut back to whistler via Singing pass

This is an all-downhill option. Alternatively, you could retrace your steps to Whistler Peak from the hut, but instead of climbing Whistler Peak, take the trail that circles around and ends at the Peak to Peak Gondola. From there, itโ€™s a smooth - and free- gondola ride back to theโ€ฆ

Russet Ridge from the Kees and Claire Hut

The snow makes the goal of the day fun to reach. Microspikes secured our steps. The ridge is easy, and the snow allows for a lot of fun route finding and last-minute improvisations with plenty great lookouts to Adit lakes and all the glaciers surrounding.

We have decided to design the Whistler Peak as a trailhead to hike to Kees and Claire hut owned by the Spearhead Huts Society in collaboration with the Alpine Club of Canada among others. The modern world and gondola allow hikers to make the hike easy insteadโ€ฆ

Mill Bay - Schwartz bay ferry

A non-event segment.
A 2 km downhill to start the day from the campground to hop on the ferry for a 30' crossing to Brentwood. A good pub to welcome you soon after you disembark for a nice lunch. Meaning you have had a lazy start...or you slept in. Fromโ€ฆ

Sooke - Port Renfrew

SPROAT mountain / Whistler

Not a walk in the park but worth it for some nice lookouts on the way. We had to bail very close to the lake because of poor snow conditions above the 1500m elevation mark in the scrambling section. Many snow bridges linking boulders. Slushy snow. Microspikesโ€ฆ

Coquitlam, the Saw Blade waterfall loop

Two waterfalls, a small viewpoint, a forest steeped in history, some big centuries old stomps and trails that are rarely used. Between forest logging tracks where a few cyclists occasionally venture and mountain hiking trails typical of the British Columbia coast, the going is sometimes steep but never long enoughโ€ฆ

It kicks off with a gentle road shoulder (around 10-15% grade). Then, as we zip past the gate at the roadโ€™s end, the trail throws us into a whimsical world of dreams and fantasies, which might make you think the hike will be a breeze. But hold on, because theโ€ฆ
