Dog Friendly Whistler, BC

I’m lucky to call Vancouver home. A city with no shortage of natural beauty (the best kind!) and located conveniently close to Whistler, ski capital of the universe and home to lakes, trails, restaurants, extreme sports, spas and crazy good restaurants (I’m looking at you Bearfoot Bistro). But while the masses come for world class skiing during the cold months, my pooch and I wait until summer. Summertime finds us out and about, picking berries, frolicking on the beach, hiking the alpine trails and rejoicing in the dog days of summer.
What are you waiting for? Summer adventure beckons!

Do:
There are so many breathtaking views in this area; check out WhistlerHiatus.com for a list of their top 5 dog friendly hikes. After you’ve worked up a sweat it’s time to hit the beach! It can get hot up here, but the lakes are always refreshing (one might say frigid). Cool down at one of these dog beaches.
