Glacial Stream

One of the best memories that visitors have of Whistler is its broad spectrum of natural colour.  The deep blue skies, the emerald coloured forests and autumn leaves are stunning.

One of the most unique features in Whistler is the colour of the glacial stream that flows through the park in Village North.

The turquoise colour is caused by glacial silt that is suspended in the water. It results from massive glaciers grinding away at the earth's surface over millions of years.

One of the most relaxing things to do in Whistler, is to find a quiet bench by a mountain stream and simply enjoy the sights, sounds and moment in time.
