| Whistler, British
Columbia |
|
Whistler is a 2-hour drive (75 mile/120 kilometre) to
Vancouver and a 5-hour (218 mile/354 kilometre) drive to Seattle. So why made
the trek? How about for some world-class skiing and winter activities. If the
outdoors is not where you want to be, forget about booking a trip to
Whistler. But if you love the outdoors, beautiful scenery or winter in
general, you better make a beeline for Whistler.
