Whistler, Canada

In the Province of Alberta, only 109 miles from Vancouver, Whistler is best known for being a ski resort. However in summer months, it’s a great place to visit with clear mountain air, verdant forests and lakes that look like mirrors. This province is grand and beautiful, with rolling hills, enormous mountains and thin spires of rock called hoodoos. Go mountain biking, kayaking, ride a trail horse, take a helicopter flight or for real thrill-seekers, experience a 2.5 hour journey via a series of zip cables and suspension bridges.
