Whistler's Peaks and Glaciers

This collection spans the Fitzsimmons and Spearhead Ranges, highlighting the geological diversity of the Coast Mountains.

From the 70-meter drop of Brandywine Falls to the panoramic views of Green Lake, these sites represent the region's glacial history and alpine topography, including technical peaks like The Spearhead and the expansive backcountry of Mount Sproatt.
