Mount Sproatt, or as it is known locally as just Sproatt, is one of the many towering mountains visible from Whistler Village. Above and beyond Alta Lake, directly across from Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain, you will see this quiet giant. Its unremarkable appearance hides the growing network of trails that stretch through some startlingly beautiful terrain.
Multiple trailheads & access points- Wild, hostile terrain rarely visited by humans
- Connecting trails to Rainbow, Hanging & Madeley
- No crowds & endless idyllic tarns to swim
- Dozens of perfect spots for a tent
- Vast terrain full of adventurous routes
- Dog friendly, unlike most Whistler trails
Easy to get lost in the vast alpine- No grand turquoise lakes like Wedge
- Need a 4x4 to get to the Callaghan trailhead

Next time you walk through Whistler Village and cross the pedestrian bridge(with Village Gate Boulevard below you), you will see Mount Sproatt in the distance. It is the rocky giant, abruptly steep on one end and gently sloping on the other. At its summit you may be able to make out the small weather recording structure. What you can't see from Whistler Village is the extraordinarily beautiful alpine paradise that lays beyond it. Lakes and tarns everywhere you look. Fields of alpine flowers and wonderfully mangled, yet strikingly beautiful forests of krummholz. Hostile looking fields of boulders and absurdly placed erratics the size of RV's. Beyond, of course, endless stunning view of distant, snowy mountains. From the towering elevation of much of the trails on Sproatt you often look across or even down on distant mountains. Rainbow Mountain looks incredible from much of the trail. Four teeth-like, jagged grey peaks in a row that face you from Rainbow Mountain, just 5 kilometres away look enormous. A couple kilometres closer you spot Hanging Lake and the Lord of the Rings style valley that stretches 2 kilometres from its shores to the abrupt cliffs at your feet. Several times along the trail you see the clearly defined ski runs on Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain and once in a while you can spot Alta Lake and Whistler Village.

There are several hiking trails and sights to see around the Sproatt Alpine Trail. The Rainbow Trail to Rainbow Falls and Rainbow Lake can be found further along the Flank Trail near Rainbow Park in Whistler. The Madeley Lake trail runs over the top of the Sproatt Alpine Trail and connects Madeley Lake to Hanging Lake and then to Rainbow Lake. Hanging Lake can be reached by and unmarked, though fairly easy alpine route off of the Sproatt Alpine Trail. Northair Mine near the Callaghan Valley end of the trail is a surreal little world in the mountains. There are cement foundations adorned with graffiti, two lakes and all sorts of curiosities to explore. Northair Mine is a great place to camp if you can manage to get your vehicle past the washouts on the bad forest service road to it. Alexander Falls, one of Whistler's most amazing waterfalls to see is easy to drive to, without a 4x4. The Callaghan Valley has several other great places to hike. Callaghan Lake Provincial Park has some short trails at this beautiful lake as well as free campsites. Cirque Lake is a challenging, though short trail that begins at the far end of Callaghan Lake. The Ring Lake trail also starts from near Callaghan Lake Provincial Park.
