A model of the coastal mountains from Vancouver north to Squamish. Highway 101 running the entire west coast changes to the 99 in British Columbia and from Vancouver to Whistler its called the Sea to Sky. The road is being redone for the Olympics, but that is another story.The following are courtesy of Grey's boredom from various Whistler rides:
Highway 99 at its best; from a window seat
37 km (23 mi) north of Squamish and 19 km (12 mi) south of Whistler is our destination: Lake Garibaldi. The 9km (5.5 mi) hike is basically all switch backs but very doable.

No Slow Thinkers
Now don't you love it when your friends get you thinkin?
Do something innovative never even thought of
Get you all inspired and fired up to live life
You tell em what they did was tight you’re fully motivated
You might have hesitated now you’re on the move though
Without some of my friends I probably move too slow
If that ain’t cool so I need reinforcements
And to be around positivity makes more sense
Its intense
Tryin to top a legend
But I make due and get praised from my brethren
Then they taught me and the lass is the past
It keeps me on point with my foot on the gas
You gotta give respect where its due and stay true
Its neither all about them nor all about you
Surround yourself with prosperous people
If you will try hard to be more than equal
All my people are big risk takers
No time wasters
Nothings left to lose all slow thinkers
Nice Long expose with unintended people walking through with flashlights. There were honestly well over a hundred people in the campground that night.
I'm zoned in on my own flaws known as raw
But I hate most all I've ever done
Still I'm feelin like I'm the one
I get the underground thing and people are having fun
I'm part of that, that's where my heart is at
Beating, reaching you when I'm constantly seeking new angles
Man I take out the tangles and redirect just where the pain goes
I wanna paint the perfect picture
I wanna paint the perfect picture
I wanna paint the perfect picture
Paint the perfect picture
