Whistler Adventure Diary: Biking to Green Lake & Lost Lake

Whistler Adventure Diary: Biking to Green Lake & Lost Lake! 🚴♀️💚 We rented bikes in Whistler and embarked on a 10km round-trip ride to Green Lake and Lost Lake—and let me tell you, those endless uphill climbs nearly killed my legs! 😅 But the unreal views of Green Lake’s creamy emerald waters and Lost Lake’s tranquil forest vibes made every pedal stroke worth it. Here’s the full recap—plus food recs, coffee fails, and bear safety tips! 🚴♀️ The Bike Route: Green Lake → Lost Lake Loop 📍 Stats & Scenery • Distance: ~10km round trip • Difficulty: Moderate to hard (so. many. hills. 🥵) • Terrain: Paved + gravel paths (mountain bikes recommended!) • Highlights: • Green Lake: Looks like matcha cream under sunlight—insanely photogenic! 📸 • Lost Lake: Hidden gem surrounded by dense forest (perfect picnic spot!) 🌲 • Campsites: Saw tons along the way—next time, we’re camping! ⛺️ ⚠️ Heads Up: • No water stops—bring 2L+! • Bear country—carry spray (we didn’t see any, but better safe 🐻) 🍽️ Foodie Highlights Breakfast: Hot Buns Bakery (Our Go-To Spot!) 🥞 Must-Order: • Savory crepes (mushroom & cheese >>> sweet ones) • Iced americano (way better than % Arabica… more on that later 😒) 💡 Pro Tip: Go before 9AM to avoid lines! Dinner: ARAXI (Splurge-Worthy Steak!) 🥩 What We Ate: • AAA steak (medium-rare, chef’s kiss) • BC oysters (fresh with lemon—chef’s second kiss) • Local wine pairing (sommelier knew their stuff!) 💰 Damage: ~$100/person (but worth it for a special night!) ☕ The % Arabica Hype Train (…Why?) • Wait Time: 20 mins in line (for what?!) • Ordered: Spanish latte (way too sweet—like drinking syrup 🤢) • Verdict: Skip unless you’re an Instagram addict. Hot Buns’ coffee >>> 🌿 Bonus Tips for Future Trips ✔ Rent bikes EARLY (Whistler Bike Park online = cheaper!) ✔ Sunscreen is a MUST (my nose got fried ☀️🔥) ✔ Bear spray rental ($10 at GearHub—better safe than sorry!) Final Thoughts: Whistler Summer = Outdoor Heaven! ✅ DO THIS TRIP IF YOU: • Love scenic biking (painful but rewarding!) • Want lake views + forest serenity • Are okay with splurging on steak 🥩 ❌ SKIP IF YOU: • Hate hills (seriously, so many hills) • Expect % Arabica to taste good (it’s just pretty) Next Time Goals: • Camp overnight by Green Lake ⛺️ • Kayak (rentals available!) 🚣♀️ #WhistlerBiking #GreenLake #LostLake #FoodieFails #BearSafetyFirst
