Nestled within an old-growth forest of cedars and firs along the Cheakamus River, the Whistler Train Wreck is a striking and unexpected sight. This cluster of graffiti-covered boxcars dates back to a train accident in the 1950s. Accessible via a 1.4-mile (2.3-kilometer) out-and-back hiking trail that includes a suspension bridge crossing the river, the site draws visitors year-round. Hikers can explore the vibrant, colorful graffiti that adorns the rusting boxcars, set against the backdrop of the lush, serene forest.
