We spent two glorious months exploring Alberta and BC, spending lots of time with my brother and his family and lost count of all of the amazing hiking and biking adventures we had. This Western Canadian road trip was meant to be the beginning of our year-long road trip to Central America and while we were sad that our year-long trip was postponed, we felt so lucky to be able to do this portion. When planning our summer road trip we knew we wanted to spend time relaxing on one of Vancouver Island’s Gulf Islands. We absolutely loved our time out there in the summer and we loved being able to spend so much time with my brother’s family.

Things to Do in Whistler in Summer with Kids Whistler Village is Whistler’s central neighborhood located at the base of Whistler mountain. The Whistler Bike Park is world class and the downhill bike scene is the best in the world. The most popular lakes are Lost Lake and Alta Lake – both have great parks with swimming docks that you can access via bike with the Valley Trail or by car. Alta Lake’s Rainbow Park is the most popular swimming spot and offers epic views back at Whister-Blackcomb.
