I like Whistler
We went back to Whistler today and had a great day by my standards. We went to Alta lake and while the girls played by the water, I went on a quick 12 mile bike ride around the series of lakes in the Whistler area. It was a beautiful ride, and I really haven’t had much chance to get any exercise – so I really enjoyed it.
After that we rented two canoes on Alta lake. There is a 2 hour trip across Alta lake and then down the “River of Golden Dreams” to Green lake. It’s a little bit technical, so we also hired a guide to go in Patty’s canoe. So Kelly, Kate and I went in one canoe, and Patty and Jessica went in the other canoe with a guide. It was a beautiful run and challenging enough to be interesting. The water is incredibly cold, having just melted from a glacier earlier in the day. It was a great trip.
We really enjoyed the Whistler area. It is a beautiful place and they’ve setup lots of fun activities. There are bike paths throughout the area so you can get around without a car. It’s wonderful.
