"Seen from many directions, this black spire of volcanic rock has become a well known sight in Whistler. Its easily recognizable shape has earned it the title of best known mountain in the Garibaldi Range of the Coast Mountains. You can easily photograph its peak from the top of Whistler Mountain but if you dare to get a bit closer, the strenuous Black Tusk hike will take you right into its surrounding lava fields."

"The view of Black Tusk is as quintessential Whistler as it gets. This remnant of a stratovolcano has served as a culturally significant landmark for thousands of years, in the Squamish language it is called t’ak‘t’ak mu’yin tl’a in7in’a’xe7en, “Landing Place of the Thunderbird”. Views from the top of whistler mountain reveal black tusk."

"Look to your left as you drive into Whistler and you will see Black Tusk, the last remaining part of a dormant volcano. Although its black peak can be seen from just about anywhere in Whistler, there are a few spots that provide a better view. The peak of Whistler and the Callaghan Valley are just to name a few."

"James Stewart Sculpture Gallery is a small gallery with a big impact. Its current exhibition of large, life-like, and finely detailed sculptures of individuals the artist and gallery owner James Stewart met during his travels around the world is creating quite a stir in a town more accustomed to paintings of wild animals and spectacular landscapes. After building a career in Hollywood by creating visual effects for movies such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Shrek 2, James decided to give it all up and devote his time to his art and to enjoying the wild adventures of Whistler."

"Masterfully-crafted sculptures, masks, and paintings invite quiet contemplation and offer visual inspiration on a more contained scale. The addition of the Audain Art Museum is just one more reason to take a cultural interlude in the mountains."

"The latest addition to Whistler’s roster of cocktail bars, The Raven Room gives visitors an intimate environment for a special gettogether.
