Fall Hiking Around Whistler

September is my favorite time to hike - perfect temps, no bugs, no crowds. Everything in the alpine is changing color right now, and you can definitely feel the first hints of winter.

Here are a few pics from around the Whistler Pemberton area. This is at the end of the Pemberton Valley, just before the Hurley FSR. It was so beautiful here I had to stop and take a picture of it. The mountain I'm headed out to climb is in the distance, one of those two little ones. In the center of the picture is Tenquille Mtn.

Fog was rolling up out of the valley on the whole hike up. I took about 50 pictures just in this area.

Just about every mountain in this area can be scrambled. It's a hiking paradise and the views are unreal. Below is a pic of a melting glacier I passed by. The ice is visible in the steepest section where the snow melted and ran off.

Here's one last one, of the Train Glacier. I don't think I could ever get sick of coming to this area. It feels like a gift to be in these places.
