If dangling 40 ft/12 m above a river canyon sounds like your cup of tea, then this year-round attraction may be your first stop. Intrepid travelers are hooked up to a series of five steel cables strung between the treetops and then hurled at speeds that reach 40 mph/64 kph. The closest we came to being a part of this was listening to the ear-splitting screams of those zipping through the air. Daily 8 am-8 pm. Can$98 adults, Can$78 youths and seniors. Information desk located downstairs in Carlton Lodge, across from the gondolas, Whistler. Phone 604-935-0001. Toll-free 866-935-0001. http://www.ziptrek.com.
