  • 4584 Blackcomb Way, Whistler, BC V8E 0Y3, Canada
    The 34,400-square-foot Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre engages visitors on many levels. Socially, it is the first joint cultural project between two separate native nations in North America. The center is also a stunning architectural addition to the community. The design of the concrete, cedar, and fir structure melds the longhouse of the coastal Squamish people with the traditional Lil’wat pit house. Permanent displays of carvings, dugouts, and implements used by the coastal fishermen and hunters are supplemented by temporary exhibitions, including a presentation about Canada’s infamous residential schools. The SLCC also anchors one of Whistler’s most exciting new projects, the Cultural Connector—a path that links six local arts institutions—which is another indication of Whistler’s rising status as a fine arts destination.

  • Squamish, BC V0N 1T0, Canada
    It may be a longer hike and a bit of a drive, but the Chief is 100 percent worth it: The trail offers unparalleled views of Howe Sound and the contiguous mountains of Garibaldi Provincial Park. The hike is well-marked and a suitable challenge for beginner hikers. The trailhead is located by the parking lot for Shannon Falls, just off Highway 99 in Squamish. The drive down from Whistler (63km) takes about 45 minutes. Keep in mind that the trail can be busy at times, especially on weekends in the warmer months, so try to arrive early. The Chief has three peaks with different viewpoints, all of which you can conquer in about a five-hour round-trip. Most hikers opt for a shorter route and complete only the first or second peak in about three hours. I’m partial to the third and farthest peak because I think it offers the best views, but all three are stunning. The southernmost peak is the best choice for less-experienced hikers. For even more views (with less effort), take a ride on the recently opened Sea to Sky Gondola, which departs from Squamish and arrives at a summit overlooking Stawamus Chief Provincial Park. Panoramas of Howe Sound, Shannon Falls, and the coastal forest unfold during the 10-minute ride. At the top—2,900 feet above sea level—you can take off on one of the walking or hiking trails, venture across the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, or have a bite at the Summit Lodge. seatoskygondola.com
  • Locomotive Mountain, Squamish-Lillooet A, BC V0N, Canada
    The Whistler Pemberton areas have so many amazing trails to hike, but one that is less known lies about 20km north of Pemberton. You can get to the trailhead off of the Hurley River forestry access road. In my books, I think this hike offers the biggest payoff for the least investment, relatively speaking: it only takes a couple hours to hike up to the base of the mountain, it’s a well marked easy trail (not technical at all), and the views at the top are sensational. There are some good scrambles in the area for more adventurous hikers. The only down side is the horse flies can be pesky, bring bug spray.
