Visit the West Coast Heritage Park and you will find this wonderful old train that used to roll up and down the track from Vancouver to Squamish every day, puffing out smoke while it passed by the beautiful landscape. I first road this train on my first visit to Vancouver in 1983 and it was first on t my list of things to do for my next trip, only to find it stopped running in 2003, so it looks like a visit to the museum is necessary for reminiscing.

Alice Lake is a popular BC Provincial park located on the Sea to Sky highway just north of Squamish. We spend two days here and found that there was plenty of things to do. Alice Lake has two swimming and picnic areas, busy with families. There are also several hiking trails in the park. The four lakes loop is pleasant, and very close to the entrance of the park there is a short and easy trail around Stump Lake, which is quite pretty. We also went on DeBeck's Hill trail, which isn't very far but fairly steep uphill along gravel and small stones in some areas. We were somewhat disappointed to find out that it was really a rough road to the top of the hill, where there are some radio tower buildings.
There is camping at the park, which is what we did. Sites along the perimeter are fairly private and surrounded by trees.

Shannon Falls is often sited as one of the tallest waterfalls in Canada. At 335 m (1,105 feet) it is one extremely large waterfall and to add to its draw, the waterfall is accessible by a very short paved pathway. The renovation of the park in recent years has cost $325,000 and has greatly improved accessibility of the park and added a second platform (at least that is what a local told me). All in all this is one spectacular waterfall and should be enjoyed by anyone making the trip through this small town.

Modelled after Calgary's saddledome, the tourist information center is a great place to stop and grab a coffee while you're planning what to do in Squamish. The staff really knew their way around the city and there were countless flyers, brochures and maps of squamish and the surrounding area.

This is one of the largest concentrations of bald eagles anywhere in BC. From across the river, you can watch the eagles as they are perched in the treetops. Also at specified times of the day, ( i'm told 7-8 am and 3-4 pm) if you're lucky, you'll be able to spot the eagles swooping down to catch fish and eat them on the rocks

you can find this tree in the picnic area of the shannon falls provincial park. Its growing out of a dead trees stump at a right angle then makes a a second right angle straight up. A really interesting tree

Shannon falls is located only 2 km south of squamish directly off of the sea to sky highway. the falls are the thrid highest in BC clocking in at an impressive 335 meters high. There is a nice viewing platform just at the base of the falls but if you'd care for a more interesting look there is a staircase that climbs the falls. it a great workout and makes for a great view.

Squamish sits at the base of a very forbidding looking giant known as the Stawamus Chief. a sheer granite cliff that climbs 700 meters almost straight up, it is possible to climb the chief only you need to go the long way around the back. depending on your ambition, physical condition or available time, there are three different hikes of varying length that will take you to the peak. the initial 15-20 minutes of the hike follows directly beside shannon falls. To reach the first peak takes 3-4 hours roundtrip, 5-4 to reach the second peak and 5-6 to reach the highest peak.
