Brandywine Falls Provincial Park

"Brandywine is just one of half-a-dozen provincial parks that surroundthe Sea to Sky Highway like a fir wrap. A trailhead located just 12 miles south of Whistlerleads to a 15-minute walk through themixed hemlock forest to a 200-foot cascade. The falls overview is merely a picturesque appetizer for the fantastic wildernessbeyond. The Lava Lake trail provides a marvelous meander through the forest, and if it's a hot day, you might want to hike all the wayto Swim Lake. You can also access the Sea to Sky Trail and head north to the Whistler Train Wreck then hike to the Valley Trail through Whistler and beyond. The park tripled in size in 2010 to fully enclose the habitat of the endangered red-legged frog, so keep an eye peeledfor peepers."
