Whistler


In July Richard and I had the chance to go to Whistler, Canada. It was so beautiful and we had a blast. On the second day there, we took the Peak-to-Peak chair lift. We went up Backcombe Mountain and came down on Whistler Mountain. To get between the two mountains we took a gondola that crossed the space between the two mountains. The distance between the mountains is 4.4 km with 3.4 km unsupported by any towers. It was an amazing experience. The photo up above shows the distance between the two mountains. On the way down we got to see a black bear eating dinner. Just after we saw the bear it began to rain.







The view from the gondola between the peaks.



This is the symbol for the Olympics. On our last day there, we went and saw where they held the skiing events.

This is the beach that was about 30 minutes away from Whistler.


This picture is blurry because I took it from the car while Richard was driving. This is the view we got to enjoy all the way along the sea to sky highway that goes from Vancouver to Whistler. It is such beautiful country and I hope we get a chance to go up there again.
