Brandywine Falls, BC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My family’s long weekend in Whistler, BC was rich on outdoor adventure and breathtaking scenery<\/strong>. The above picture of Brandywine Falls<\/strong> hardly does it justice. The falls are spectacular and huge! The river leads to Daisy Lake and the water is brilliant turquoise<\/strong>. I had several baths while in Whistler in a deep bath tub and the water is a pale turquoise colour when filled. I’ve never seen such natural blue bath water before. The minerals turn it that colour.<\/p>\n

The pictures in this post reflect several different hikes we took in and around Whistler. Teeny Tiny migrating Western toads<\/strong> were a real treat to see. The hike around Lost Lake<\/strong> was difficult as with each step we threatened to squash the thousands of toads no bigger than an inch in length. I wished they’d banned mountain bikes from the trail during toad season as so many of the little creatures were killed on the hiking path by cyclists.<\/p>\n

I cannot understand mountain bikers who decided to attempt the hiking trails midday when the narrow trails are busy with foot hikers. The only time to attempt biking on trails is early morning before the foot traffic.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lost Lake is a great little mountain lake beside Whistler. The only access is by foot or bike–the lake is free from any motor vehicles.<\/p>\n
