Sea to Sky Gondola
Scenic gondola ride offering breathtaking views, hiking trails, and a suspension bridge
Summarized by AI
Ride the Sea to Sky Gondola 10 minutes up to 885m for sweeping views of Howe Sound, coastal forest, and surrounding mountains right from the cabin. At the summit, walk the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge, roam viewing platforms and the observation deck, and choose from short loop walks to longer hikes like the Panorama and Sea to Sky Summit trails. In winter, go snowshoeing, winter hiking, or tubing, then warm up at the Summit Lodge with sit-down dining, local ingredients, and great views. Families and outdoor enthusiasts can also catch concerts, holiday events, and scenic yoga sessions, then, if you’d like more, pair your visit with nearby Shannon Falls or viewpoints along the Sea to Sky Highway.
Stawamus Chief
Granite monolith offering challenging hikes, panoramic views, and rock climbing opportunities
Summarized by AI
At Stawamus Chief you can hike a steep, rewarding trail up one of the largest granite monoliths in the world, choosing between three distinct peaks. Expect long stair sections, plus ladders, ropes, and chains for short scrambling stretches near the top. Each summit gives big views over Howe Sound, Squamish, and the surrounding mountains, with chipmunks often darting around while you rest or eat lunch. It’s best for prepared hikers who want a challenging climb, technical sections, and serious scenery.
The Watershed Grill

Eat riverside on Squamish’s only true riverfront patio, with big mountain and water views right from your table. Order a Caesar cocktail, the baked brie starter, a Salmon or River burger, or the locally loved tomato soup, and pair it with craft beer on tap. Watch bald eagles perch and hunt across the Squamish River as you relax in this rustic local pub setting. Fans of Netflix’s Virgin River will recognize the exterior as Jack’s Bar from the show.
Fergie's Café

At Fergie’s Café you can linger over locally sourced, award-winning breakfast and brunch, with great coffee, craft drinks, and local beer on tap. Eat hearty burgers, crispy fries, fresh salads, delicious seafood, and plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options while sitting by a wood-burning fire or out at picnic tables among the trees and gardens. Kids can run around the play area, and everyone can explore the riverside, throw stones, watch eagles, or walk along the beautiful Cheakamus River.

All about Squamish
Located in British Columbia between Vancouver and Whistler, the coastal town of Squamish sits at the northern point of Howe Sound on the legendary Sea to Sky Highway (Highway 99 North). Named after the original inhabitants indigenous to the area, Squamish is surrounded by mountains, and the magnificent scenery regularly attracts TV and film crews. It also draws cyclists and hikers to its many trails, including the Squamish Estuary’s flat stretches, easily accessible from downtown. Take one of the trails high above the pristine waters of nearby Alice Lake, and you’ll be rewarded with magnificent views — and an up close look at the Stawamus Chief granite dome towering over the region, an area with spiritual importance to the Squamish people even today. For gorgeous panoramas without all the legwork, ride one of the local gondolas or visit the Spit at the mouth of the Squamish River to watch kiteboarders and windsurfers gliding across the water.
Within the town of Squamish, you’ll find a vibrant artist community of painters, potters, photographers, and musicians. The lively downtown is a collection of shops, cafes and restaurants, local breweries, and numerous galleries and street murals, including more than 20 pieces of street art that you can take in on the self-guided Mural Walk.
What are the top things to do in Squamish?
Stawamus Chief
Stawamus Chief, an enormous cliff-faced granite rock, is very popular with rock climbers, as there are more than 300 climbing routes on the mountain available for those with the experience and correct safety gear. The hiking trails are steep here, but the views of Howe Sound and the Coast Mountains are spectacular.
Shannon Falls
Part of a provincial park just a mile from Squamish, Shannon Falls is the third highest waterfall in British Columbia at a little under 1,100 feet in height. The scenic falls have been captured by numerous film and television production companies and can be reached by ferry from Squamish via Darrell Bay or Woodfibre or by using the Sea to Sky Gondola. You can view the cascades from below or hike up the Sea to Summit Trail to the top.
Alice Lake Provincial Park
Alice Lake Provincial Park is a popular recreation area home to four freshwater lakes — Alice, Edith, Fawn, and Stump. You’ll also find DeBeck’s Hill, which provides stunning views of the Tantalus Range and Mount Garibaldi. The waterway is a convenient spot for swimmers from its two beaches. Multiple hiking trails crisscross the park for walkers and bikers, and the lakes provide ample opportunities for fishing and canoeing. Home to many mammal and bird species — the Brackendale bald eagle colony is adjacent to Alice Lake — there is also an abundance of marine life, including the black and orange box turtles and the iridescent rainbow trout.
