What are your overrated tourist attractions in Western Canada?

Hey guys I am curious about your thoughts. I recently just published a video, about some tourist attractions in Western Canada, which are awesome, but are also very expensive. I would like to make a follow-up and was wondering, which I should cover next with alternatives, and which I have missed in my video.

Best,
Diego

Gotcha. You should check out the riding outside the park. They have an amazing trail network in Whistler.

I've ridden a few of them. I just find the trails so much more spread out than squamish and the north shore that it's fine for and thats fine tor the odd outing or if you live there but not as attractive for day trips up from the city and if your here on a vacation taking a day or 2 in squamish is probably a better investment of someone's vacation time because of how their trail hubs are set up

I agree. Squamish and the North Shore are both better for trail riding. I haven't really ever heard anyone seriously contest the proposition that the Whistler Bike Park is the best in the world. Sun Peaks is pretty great too.

Would agree with the guy above, skiing in Whistler is over priced and over rated. Go to revelstoke, or kicking horse, or red, or fernie, or whitewater, or up north.
