As I find myself reminiscing on this Wednesday I thought I’d share something pretty neat with y’all. Here are some photos from Canada’s very own Train Wreck Trail which runs along the Cheakamus River and an active train track. The wreckage includes 7 scattered train cars which now serve as platforms for impressive bike jumps and, of course, graffiti art.
Blackcombpeaks.com says: “The Train Wreck is the debris left from a train crash in 1957 or 1958. A freight train managed to crash off the tracks at high speed a few kilometers south of what is now Function Junction. Back at a time when Whistler really was the middle of nowhere (a far cry from the luxury resort Whistler is today), it was deemed too expensive to perform a full clean up of the crash.”
If you’re ever in Whistler, BC, definitely check out this trail!
Spread kindness and cheer, xo

Seems like a wonderful spot for a hike! Although it reminds me of the train tracks in The Walking Dead… 😀
