Sea to Sky Trail
100+ km bikepacking route from Squamish to Pemberton via Whistler. Two-day adventure through rainforest, mountain passes, and freshwater lakes.
Trail beta
For the Squamish section, park at Sp'akw'us Feather Park downtown, the Adventure Centre gravel lot on Loggers Lane, or outside Fergie's Cafe at Squamish Valley Rd / Paradise Valley Rd to skip the town section. Ride north (Squamish → Whistler) to get most of the climbing done early; the return is mostly downhill. ~90% gravel singletrack and dirt roads with short highway sections (~9 km total). Gravel bike or hardtail with 45mm+ tires works better than a full-squish. Cut options: start at Chance Creek or Brandywine Falls to shorten.
When to go
100-km multi-use trail between Squamish and Pemberton (managed by Squamish-Lillooet Regional District). Rideable June through October, with snow-year variability extending or shortening the shoulder seasons. Higher sections above Callaghan and the Whistler-Pemberton segment hold snow latest into summer. The Squamish end rides almost year-round; the northern/higher passes are the gating factor.
E-bikes
Mostly gravel singletrack. Best on a rigid mountain bike with 2.0-3.0 inch tires. Season June through October.
