While dining in decadence, the views continue
to roll on by: historical Britannia and its once-
thriving copper mine, cascading torrents of
Shannon Falls and the snowy 2,678 meter
summit of Mount Garibaldi. With every scenic
“wow” we jockey with other passengers for that
prime photo opp. Regardless of whether it’s in
the comfort of our domed interior or the breezy
Heritage Observation Car, it’s an impossible
task to capture.

“Get your cameras ready
once again,” Jessica
announces, as we enter
Cheakamus Canyon. The
screeching sound from
metal on metal echoes
within the steep
cavernous gorge and as
we creep over the trestle
bridge that spans the
chasm a collection of

And while white water

our shutters go non-stop. No sooner do we bridge this amazing gap when other photo
moments come into view: the volcanic monolith of Black Tusk, steep precipice of Brandywine
Falls and shimmering Alpha Lake.

After our three-hour expedition, we reach the
resort town of Whistler and are quickly transported
to our temporary refuge, the Pan Pacific Whistler
Mountainside. From the balcony of our suite retreat
the panorama is stunning, spanning both
mountains from ground surface to summit.
Although these dusty trails currently host bikers,
hikers, and the occasional black bear, when the
snow flies, they’ll transform to powder pathways.
