Pat&ZoAnn Says: Four Lakes Trail is an easy hike arond four lakes (obviously) in Garibaldi Park, near Squamish, BC. It took the 14 of us about 2 1/2 hours, but we stopped a few times to view the sights.

GuthrieColin Says: 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...

Squamish Tourist Information Center
lazyman_1 Says: 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...
lazyman_1 Says: 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...

There are actually 3 separate sections to this restaurant. there is a sports bar, a finer restaurant and a micro brewery. the great thing about Howe sound brewery is they will let you sample any of the beers they have on tap (usually 4 or 5) the samplesizes are generous, about 1/3 of a pint meaning that you can pretty much sit and drink close to two pints of some really fine beer without spending a nickel!

Carmanah Says: The Sea to Sky Highway (Hwy 99) is considered one of the most scenic drives in British Columbia. While the drive is short, it does connect the city of Vancouver to the town of Squamish. Many people use this highway when driving north to the swanky ski resort of Whistler....
Trinity Romance Shop: Sex toys in Squamish
Jane_212 Says: We were recently on vacation on the west coast, and stumbled upon this little gem Trinity Romance Shop. Unlike some adult shops I've seen this one was very upscale, and geared more towards women. They had everything from toys, to lubes, to lingerie, and a great book section....

If you're not wearing the proper footwear while hiking around the Chief in Squamish, you might want to think twice about hiking. I found that my old combat boots were worn a little too thin. I felt my feet slipping around whenever I was walking along the stairs and the dusty trails - especially when it got steep. There's nothing worse than the feeling of losing your footing while on a steep path. Keep this in mind before you leave, or you might have to do what I unfortunately had to do - and turn back!

Carmanah Says: No, it's not really a beach in the traditional sense of the term. Don't expect to go sunbathing here! Britannia Beach is a tiny unincorporated community located along the Sea to Sky highway (Hwy 99) between Vancouver and Squamish. Initially founded as a copper mining...

One of the most famous short hikes in south-western BC. The hike takes you along the back of the Stawamus Chief (aka "the Chief") where you climb to the very top. The view from the top is supposed to be amazing... just don't fall off the cliff as there is a sheer drop-off when you get to the top!
Also, read the sign before you start the trail. It clearly states, "This is not just a walk in the park" and continues on to say that many hikers have had to be rescued from this trail in the past. It's a little disconcerning at first, but the trail is popular and rarely will you ever be alone for more than 10 minutes.
Equipment: Bring an excellent pair of hiking boots, and enough water to last you for the entire hike. While I only did part of the hike, they say it takes about 3 hours.

Favorite thing: The most famous hike in Squamish is the Stawamus Chief Trail. The trail takes you along the back of the chief up to the top of the granite rock where you can look down the face of the cliff. The view from above is supposed to be spectacular, as you could see all the surrounding mountains, glaciers, forests and Howe Sound.

Squamish is about a 1 hour drive north of Vancouver, roughly halfway beween Vancouver and Whistler. It is at the head of Howe Sound, where the Sea to Sky highway leaves the sea, heading for the sky.
