Rainbow Lake is a scenic alpine lake in Whistler. The Rainbow Lake Trail is a popular hike and is moderately difficult, with an average completion time of around 6 hours.
The trail has about 800 metres of elevation and rises gradually, but consistently up to the lake. There are a few junctions near the beginning, but overall, the trail is wellmarked and easy to follow.
The route to Rainbow Lake is scenic. There are several cable and suspension bridges, 21 Mile Creek, a large waterfall, scenic oldgrowth forest, and views of Blackcomb before reaching the lake itself. However, snow often persists well into July, so be prepared if hiking early in the summer.
