British Columbia - Day 3
The plan today was to rent a car and get up to Whistler early enough to do something. We rented from Enterprise, who didn't have any Cavalier/Sunfire-sized vehicles left. So they gave is a Buick LeSabre instead. Nice car, but it's a boat.

On the way up (which was slow, because they're redoing all the highways for the Olympics), we stopped at Shannon Falls and a climbing mountain known as The Chief. The falls were not unlike other waterfalls, just surrounded with much bigger trees. When we got to The Chief, at first, we could not spot any climbers. Then we did. Apparently, the rock face is much larger than expected, and the people were but the tiniest dots of colour.

A few kilometers up the road, we picked up a hitch hiker. She had lived in Whistler for the last few years. This was very covenient, because during the rest of the trip up she was telling us all about interesting things to do, and decently priced places to stay.

Unfortunately, things were already closing up when we got there, at 3pm. Still, we spent the day outdoors and came up with a busy schedule for day two of Whistler.
