A Secret Suspension Bridge Hike Near Whistler Leads To A Colourful Train Wreck

The perfect destination this fall.
Contributor

There's no shortage of spooky, secret spots in B.C. if you know where to look and this abandoned trainwreck near Whistler proves it.

This two-kilometre hike right outside the city leads you past a gurgling river to a series of beautifully painted train cars that have sat abandoned since 1956.

The trail itself takes about an hour to finish and is super easy, making it ideal for beginner hikers.

As a cherry on top, it also leads you past a suspension bridge over the Cheakamus River, offering stunning views of the canyon.

There should be seven abandoned box cars in total, each decorated with colourful graffiti — bonus points if you can discover them all!
