The Sea to Sky Trail runs 101 km from Squamish through Whistler to Pemberton, tracing a corridor the Coast Salish and Interior Salish peoples travelled long before highways. Nearly half is flowy singletrack, and the rest mixes doubletrack, gravel, and pavement past turquoise lakes, swimming holes, suspension bridges, and even an old train wreck. Climbs come short and punchy rather than long. Resupply is easy in all three towns, and public transit can carry you back to the start.
