Spring Hiking Has Arrived!
Spring is here and summer is not far off! The road to Parkhurst Ghost Town is accessible now! Whistler Train Wreck is free of snow too. Check out Hike in Whistler May 2022 for inspiration!
April 29th, 2019: Back in 2011 a group of Whistler artists met at Whistler Train Wreck and transformed it from a bland array of wrecked train cars into a stunning, surreal art exhibit. The seven mangled train wrecks lay scattered in the forest along Cheakamus River for decades, before being brought to life by talented Whistler mural artists. The Train Wreck Paint Jam, an all day, all night graffiti artist party organized by Chili Thom and Kups.

Chili Thom, who recently passed away in 2016, was a cherished local artist with over 400 stunning paintings of Whistler and British Columbia landscapes. Kups is an insanely gifted mural artist with startlingly beautiful works just about everywhere you look in Whistler. Many of the most stunning paintings in Whistler Train Wreck are Kups creations. The first train wreck you come across after you cross the bridge over Cheakamus River has The Hidden Agenda mural inside. This enormous mural from floor to ceiling of an old man with a flowing white beard stretching out to the words, the hidden agenda projects com. The entire wall inside the car is painted from end to end. The Hidden Agenda mural blends into purple and another surreal mural of a face surrounded by floating pink flowers. There is something wonderful about entering a rusting, mangled train car in the wilderness and find the inside brilliantly painted in a hypnotically unexpected way. The Hidden Agenda car is the first wrecked boxcar that you will encounter on the Train Wreck trail almost immediately after crossing the Train Wreck suspension bridge. It is connected to another boxcar that hangs precariously over a cliff above Cheakamus River.
