About Train Wreck
A part of Whistler's historical and cultural identity, the Train Wreck site is a popular attraction located near the Cheakamus River south of Whistler. The site consists of 7 box cars, which have sat in the forest since 1956 and have been painted over the years. The short hiking trail follows the Sea To Sky Trail and crosses a suspension bridge, offering scenic views of the Cheakamus River. The 2km round-trip trail is easy, with an elevation gain of 30 meters.
