Crater Rim Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Crater Rim Trail loops through the Whistler Interpretive Forest above Loggers Lake, and is a rugged trek along the rim of an extinct volcanic crater. The path is a mix of forest, ridgeline walking, and rocky terrain that climbs steadily through second-growth forest before reaching several viewpoints overlooking nearby mountains, Logger’s Lake and the Cheakamus valley. There are some narrow ridge sections and a rocky slide area that’s not too technical, but definitely adds variety to the route. Though relatively short, the combination of elevation gain, changing terrain, and dramatic scenery makes it feel more adventurous than many hikes of a similar length.

View of the Tantalus Range

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great views make up for the steep climb. Almost a 360 degree view, you can see the car or train traffic in the valley and the airplanes in the sky.

Log Dock at Logger's Lake

Highlight • Lake

Logger's Lake is extremely inviting after any summer trail in the heat. Bring swimwear and perhaps flipflops as the shore consists of rocks. Lots of families and dogs.

Logger's Lake

Highlight • Lake

Logger's Lake is a stunning lake next to the rushing Cheakamus River and the famous Whistler Train Wrecks. If you believe it or not, this is a small crater lake that sits in the bowl of a long extinct volcano. Take the beautiful Crater Rim Trail along the ridge to get a better idea of the volcanic past of the area.
