Stawamus Chief

Ready for a Squamish classic? This steep trail climbs through lush coastal rainforests, past a stunning waterfall, to a breathtaking summit with spectacular views of Howe Sound and the surrounding mountains! This steep trail is no 'walk in the park' (our guide described it as 'the local stair master'!), but we promise the views are more than worth it! For hikers up for a challenge, this one is not to be missed!
