The trail begins in the south on the Howe Sound in Squamish and terminates in D'Arcy on Anderson Lake in the north, connecting the communities of Whistler and Pemberton along its route.
[3][4] At this time, the trail involves significant sections of temporary alignment along roads, including on the Sea to Sky Highway.
Prior to 1850s, when The Barrier lava dam partially collapsed, this was the main trading link with interior First Nations.
The Pacific Great Eastern Railway was built in the 1910s[3] and the Sea to Sky Highway in the 1950s, both of which used some of the old trail route.
In the future, once the trail is complete, this committee intends to expand the scope of the project south to Horseshoe Bay and north to Lillooet.
