Hike to the Whistler Train Wreck

The hike to the train wreck in Whistler changed significantly on September 1st, 2016. The town of whistler installed a suspension bridge over the Cheakamus river, allowing hikers to access the site from the whistler athletes centre, down a well maintained path. 

There are two options to get to the train wreck, one is to walk down the multi-purpose "Trash" trail, which follows the river bank all the way to the suspension bridge. This direction is slightly more of an adventure, but is a more interesting walk. 

The other option is to walk down the gravel path from the parking area, through the woods with green moss which leads you directly to the suspension bridge - You can also hike both of these trails, making it a loop. 

Once you get to the suspension bridge, you walk up the boardwalk and arrive at the train wreck. There are cars to both the left and the right, and I would highly recommend checking them all out! Be careful, as they can get wet and slippery, and there is a lot of exposed metal.
