The Elaho River is a c.70 km long river beginning in the Coast Mountains northwest of the towns of Whistler and Pemberton, British Columbia. It is a tributary of the Squamish River and is known for its whitewater rafting and kayaking as well as for the intense alpine scenery lining its route.^[3]

The Elaho is much larger than the Squamish River when it meets with it. The Elaho is often subject to flash flooding.
