Canada Alexander Falls, Whistler
This is the road leading up to Alexander Falls just south of Whistler, BC.
As you drive back down from the falls, you get an amazing view of the Black Tusk Mountain.

Photography Tips
As I was driving down from the top of the hill, I would stop periodically to take photos in this general direction from different elevations and angles. I definitely recommend doing this during sunset since the angle of the sun changes every few minutes and lights up different parts of the mountain face. Taking multiple photos from different points along the road gives you the opportunity to capture several compositions with different lighting, so you are likely to get lots of photos to choose from.
Travel Information
Take Callaghan Road off of the Sea to Sky Highway (turn left if you're heading from Vancouver, and right if you're coming from Whistler). Once you drive up the road for a few minutes, the mountain face should be visible from behind. I recommend going up all the way to Alexander Falls (the falls itself is worth a visit) and then driving back down to get the full view of the mountain.
