The best hiking experience on Whistler Mountain. Hikers will enjoy stunning views of Black Tusk and Cheakamus Lake as they descend through rugged terrain that mellows into a rolling course. Taken as a loop from the Roundhouse Lodge, but often hikers will bypass Pika's and Mathew's Traverse and start or finish on the Peak Express Chairlift.
