My experience was truly spectacular. I came on this trip for one activity (zip-lining in whistler) but I left with so much more. I learned about the history of the First Nation people through visiting the cultural centre. I learned several hiking techniques I can utilize when taking on a new trail. I got to experience the beauty of Lake Louise, and Shannon Falls. Then I got to enjoy a variety of different food each day. For anyone interested in this experience I would strongly encourage you to book this trip. I truly believe you will have a fantastic time just as I did.
