Brandywine Falls Campsite and Walking Trail, Whistler, BC

The falls are beautiful and well worth the few minutes hike from the parking lot BUT DO NOT hike to the suspension bridge if you only want to see the bridge and not hike thru 4 kms of terrain when you can almost drive right up to it.
If you leave Brandywine parking lot and drive 2.7 kms north, towards Whistler, there is an intersection at that point, where you turn right & drive down a gravel road and hike .8 kms into the the bridge.
The only marker I can give you for the intersection is it is right before the sign for the Olympic Nordic Center. (Use your trip meter and it is 2.7 kms from the Brandywine turn-off).

My family decided to hike to the bridge since it is marked at the entrance to Brandywine thinking it was a well marked trail. It is not, and at one point you come across a sign that says you are at the park boundaries. After that there are no signs, no distance signs and when you come out after hiking up and down 3.0+ kms you are next to highway 99. Ridiculous, someone actually took the time to put up some handmade signs pointing the way toward the suspension bridge since the province didnt.
The last .8 kms of the trail are the nicest thru some old growth forest and the bridge, although not as big as we exepcted, was still very nice over the river.

More of a walk then a hike but worth checking out on your way to Whistler. Only stopped for about half an hour but the waterfall and gorge were spectacular.
