A mangled, graffiti-covered boxcar perches precariously close to the lip of a forest ravine where 30 feet below, the icy waters of the Cheakamus River rage through the gorge. Another wrecked train car lies on its side farther up the trail, an entire panel from its roof peeled back as if it has been pried open by a giant can opener. Farther up the slope, more cars lie between towering cedars and firs, none of which seem to have been damaged by the metal carnage lying adjacent to them. The site begs the question, where did the train cars come from, and how did they end up here, with train tracks nowhere in sight? The answer may not be as mysterious or enigmatic as the train wrecks themselves, but the history and the juxtaposition of street art, metal and beautiful rainforest make this Train Wreck Hike the coolest hike near Whistler, British Columbia.
