Trainwreck Trail

Trainwreck Trail is an easy, all-season trail near Whistler, British Columbia, leading to the site of a 1956 train derailment in the Whistler Interpretive Forest.

The official route, opened in 2016, begins near Bayly Park in the Cheakamus Crossing neighbourhood and follows a gravel path approximately 2. 6 km to the wreck site, crossing the Cheakamus River via a suspension bridge.

The trail also connects to the Sea to Sky Trail and offers options for technical mountain biking on surrounding singletrack.

At the destination, several derailed boxcars remain scattered in the forest, now covered in elaborate graffiti art created by local and visiting artists over the years.

The trail is generally considered easy, with modest elevation gain, and takes roughly 40 minutes to two hours to complete depending on the route chosen.
