27.07 - Hidden trail with train wreck

After staying in Squamish we decided to come back to Whistler and see the train wreck in the woods, which is a secret tip, not a usual tourist attraction, just 8 km from Whistler. Decades ago a train derailed South of Whistler. The cost to clean up the mess was deemed too high, so that 7 train cars were left in the woods.
It was a really adventurous thing to do. Firstly, the trail is hidden and only marked with self-made sings. Secondly, the track itself goes up and down through the woods along the river. It felt like a treasure hunt as the marks could be easily overlooked. We lost our way at first and went for an extra kilometre detour just to come back and look for the signs again. It was a nice experience and something special. Someone turned the site into a fun park for mountain bikes with obstacles, bridges and ramps. We also climbed a few wagons and lying trees.
