Meet at the Train Wreck Trail parking lot at 8:30am.
We will be walking at a slow pace to get to the train wreck (round trip is 2.8 miles). Five of the cars are in one spot with another two a short distance away.
We will spend 2-3 hours at the wreck.
Optional: Lunch in Whistler followed by riding the Peak to Peak Gondola to take photos of scenic views.
Note: I will be camping at Nairn Falls Provincial Park on July 12th.
If interested, join me on July 14th in Squamish for more photography fun in the morning and/or Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in the afternoon.
