Whistler Bear Viewing
With ski areas composed of vast coastal hemlock cedar forests, Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains provide food and shelter to some 50 black bears. You can explore this beautiful habitat in a 4X4 vehicle while on a fascinating and one-of-a-kind Bear Viewing Tour with noted black bear researchers from Michael Allen's team. During the tours, Allen — who has spent the past 23 years studying black bears — or another guide, will take you to visit active bear dens, daybeds and feeding sites. These areas are also home to other wildlife such as Coastal Mountain black-tailed deer, Coyote, Ruffed grouse, Red-tailed hawks, Barred and Great Horned owls, and Western Hoary marmots. Don't forget your camera on this excursion of a lifetime.
