Sea to Sky Country
Rivers cascading in bubbly plumes off a sheer cliff, towering
rock faces that plunge to the sea, mountains of glimmering ice,
sparkling lakes and immense natural forests – this is the
splendor and drama of Sea to Sky Country. Starting 30 minutes from
downtown Vancouver, at picturesque Horseshoe Bay, the Sea to Sky
Highway (Hwy 99) hugs the coastal mountains along Howe Sound through
logging, ranching, mining and farming communities, welcoming outdoor
enthusiasts from around the world. Sea to Sky Country is also home
to the world famous community of Whistler, host of the 2010 Winter
Olympics and Paralympics Games. Visitors will also want to send
time exploring the quaint village streets and unique shops and galleries
in communities throughout Sea to Sky Country. Rich in the archaeological
and historical lore of the Salish First Nations, Sea to Sky Country
follows the coastline from ocean to mountain in majestic wonder.
Sea to Sky Country is a natural setting of mesmerizing colours.
Glittering blue Howe Sound. Brilliant white glacier ice. Jagged
black peaks against an azure sky. Alpine meadows freckled with red,
yellow and purple wildflowers. Tranquil turquoise lakes. Forests
of deep emerald. The frothy mist off massive mountain waterfalls.
Each can induce a kind of otherworldly serenity, a blissful calm
in the presence of nature's power and glory. You can't
help but take time and reflect. This is what Sea to Sky Country
can do for your soul and it all starts just a half an hour from
downtown Vancouver.
