History Of The Whistler Dating Scene

Whistler really began to come alive way back in the mid to late 1800s when the British surveyed the area with the help of the Royal Navy. At first, the area was known as London Mountain since the place was cloaked in fog that reminded the Brits of home... but thanks to a little local chap called the hoary marmot, the area took on the name of Whistler, since the little critters were always making their distinctive call in among the peaks. Not much happened for a while on the old date scene until some folk turned up late in the 19th century to make a trail through the mountains; this hooked up Lillooet through Pemberton and the Burrard Inlet through Squamish and down to the Seymour River, and finished up in 1877 as a cattle drive.

Trappers and prospectors followed, setting up little camps which started to link up, and eventually got their own social hub in 1914 in the form of the now legendary Rainbow Lodge. Other tourist spots sprang up and the area got the name Alta Lake.Years past as this very special date spot grew in fame and stature; the area eventually joined the Resort Municipality in 1975. From the 70s onwards, Whistler took on more and more of the things that classified the place as a town in its own right, though by this time there were so many settled and established families, plus a steady influx of visitors, that by the present day the area had grown into a dating mecca in its own right.

Best Times To Go Out

whistler03

There is a lot going for Whistler, and so much of that is due to how pretty it is -- though that is something of an understatement. That being the case, Whistler might not be the most exciting place at times -- sorry, we had to say that, and if you are here the whole year through, you will know what we mean -- but you will always find something to keep you and your date occupied, especially if you keep your ideas fairly simple and are willing to mix and match. To go back to the heading for this section, there are two main times to go out in Whistler -- summer and winter, the two seasons in which Whistler really comes alive. Summer sees the town get into its littlest outfits and hit the streets and waterways, while winter sees an influx of folk from all around the world, though mainly from Canada and the northern US states, who turn up to take part in snow sports and other wintry acts of fun. Snow sports and sun bathing aside, you will find there are more than enough bars and restaurants to provide you with date locations, and we have listed some of the very best below.

Any Notes

Brief Description
If you need to get your fill of hikes and views and endless vistas that make your heart soar, why not take your date to Garibaldi Provincial Park. A challenging walk, and only for strong hikers, it is worth it to see the lake, but do read around the subject and get advice from local walkers before you and your date head out. If you are both seasoned walkers and know how to survive outdoors in the wild, a hike that is totally off the beaten track is a great idea for a romantic date, but avoid if you have only a glancing interest and little experience of the great outdoors. A truly wild addition to our list, but certainly not for the faint hearted.

One to bear in mind if you don't fancy getting lost in the wilderness or throwing your money off a mountain, or watching it vanish in a fancy seafood joint. A burger and a new pair of sneakers? Sounds like a date!
