This portion of the Sea-to-Sky Trail features the Cheakamus Canyon, Squamish greenway, and Shannon Falls. Â Again a mountain bike is recommended. Â This ride is best done downhill starting at Cheakamus Canyon. Â There is a significant quiet road section going through Paradise Valley.
For more detail information go this link on the Trails BC Website. This is a section of the Seat-to-Sky Trail as well as the Trans Canada Trail.  A good part of this trail is quite hilly and rugged and should be done on a mountain bike.  Expect an adventurous ride.
This deceivingly short distance is quite a challenge above Green Lake and should be done on a mountain bike.  It is part of the Sea-to-Sky Trail and also the Valley Trail. It takes in Whistler Village along with the surrounding lakes.  Please be reminded that this is part of the Cycle Loop c48 which may be a better way to experience this trail, especially if shuttling is an issue.
Nanaimo has succeeded in connecting several greenways to make up the Trans Canada Trail. Â Those walking should take the Abyss Trail between Extension and Nanaimo proper for a better experience. The main highlights are Extension itself, the parks and greenways, Buttertubs Marsh, Bowen Park, and the Nanaimo Waterfront.
It is 31k without the loop around Duncan. Â The actual TCT route for this leg is 28.2k needing a connector to Duncan City Center. Â This is a highly developed enjoyable trail that goes through a major bog and heritage sites. Â Close to town is the Cowichan Commons Mall, a good place to park. Â However, it really worthwhile to go into Duncan Centre to appreciate both Native and local heritage. Â The loop around town is an opportunity to follow a series of greenways that surrounds Duncan. Â There is more description of the sites on the Trails BC Website that describes the full Cowichan Valley Loop.
