The ski mountain overgoes a massive transformation in the spring to form the Whistler Bike Park, attracting thousands of experienced bikers from all over the world. The Whistler Bike Park is one of the three featured stops on the CrankWorks tour, the biggest bike competition of the year. If biking isn&#8217;t your sport, experience the beauty of the Coastal Mountain Range on some of Whistler&#8217;s best hikes. Alpine lakes and meadows are guaranteed to blow you away. With five large lakes within a walking distance of the village, visitors can relax by the water or take a canoe down the exhilarating River of Golden Dreams. If all these activities sound too adventurous, allow the Scandanvain Spa to redefine relaxation with their incredible steam rooms and outdoor pools.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2090\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2090\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2090 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/BikePark_ONeill-00524-RO1D3457-Edit_600x360.jpg\" alt=\"A rider at the Whistler Bike Park \" width=\"1200\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/BikePark_ONeill-00524-RO1D3457-Edit_600x360.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/BikePark_ONeill-00524-RO1D3457-Edit_600x360-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/BikePark_ONeill-00524-RO1D3457-Edit_600x360-1024x614.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/BikePark_ONeill-00524-RO1D3457-Edit_600x360-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rider at the Whistler Bike Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A summer stay in Whistler is an adventure of a lifetime and one that you will never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Winter Wonderland\u00a0 If you imagine a ski destination built for top-class athletes and dream family vacations, you&#8217;re probably thinking <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/2020\/10\/28\/whistler-a-world-class-resort-in-winter-summer\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-informative","no-post-thumbnail","no-read-more-tag","no-sticky","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/92"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2086"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2086\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2122,"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2086\/revisions\/2122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/richardcolby.net\/adventures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
