I did The Chief! What a challenging feat of a climb. Only 5km, by heart pumping all the way straight up 2149 feet. Stunning views of Howe Lake, Garibaldi peaks and Squamish. Reviews talk of crowds, but for a time, I was alone with The big Chief. This is one of the largest granite monoliths in the world. Take water, lunch or protein and enough daylight to take your time. Not a walk in the park! A massage the following day is highly advisable unless you are in tip top shape. I'm in great shape and still was glad to have booked a massage as I was a wee tender from the ascension ????

This scenic park contains four lakes and is perfect for hiking and swimming.

Their campground is the nicest one I've ever been too, the washrooms are consistently cleaned and literally always looks brand new. the camps are also a good distance from the other campsites so you get some woods to yourself and more quiet. Also, all the campsites are really near to Alice lake itself. Though the lake is actually not that appealing but good safety measures in place!

Garibaldi Provincial Park is a favorite destination of outdoor enthusiasts: it offers a range of hiking opportunities from lush alpine meadows, wildlife viewing opportunities, alpine flowers blooming in lush meadows, and hikes ranging from a few hours to a few days using map and compass. Garibaldi Park has an interesting geological background as it was created by volcanic action which created the formation of many of the parks peaks; the Black Tusk, Price Mountain, The Table, Mount Garibaldi, the CinderCone and the Glacier Pikes just to name a few. Lava from Clinker Peak is responsible for the creation of The Barrier. Behind this natural dam 300 metre deep Garibaldi Lake was formed.

Fantastic experience! Great views. Alpine flowers in full bloom. Only disappointment was finding discarded noodles in the stream. Encourage people to please learn about how to properly discard food waste! Information is provided by Parks Canada upon making reservation.

We always stop here to do some eagle watching. Sadly this time no eagles, but the view never disapoint. Saw lots of turkey vultures and some unique benches on the way. The little restaurant.....oh my goodness, what a gem.

Beautiful waterfalls just outside of Squamish, easily accessible off the Sea to Sky Highway.
Reviewed By TravellingWallbury - Edmonton, Canada
Wonderful little park with an easy walk to a beautiful waterfall. Kids climbed around and I was able to enjoy the area on my mobility scooter. You can choose a more rugged path to get up even closer to the falls but I still had a great view from my scooter. You would never know this lovely little oasis was in town. Parking was ample. There is a gift shop. About an hour to leisurely explore with kids.
8. Lake Lovely Water

The lake is high up in the mountains and is a favourite base for BC mountaineers. A very hard and steep hike leads you there, or you can take a chopper from Squamish to get there.. There is an ACC cabin that is open only to members near the lake. Boot trails lead to nearby mountains for easy or very hard climbing.

We drove out to the end of the Squamish estuary . It was windy and there were around 50 kite surfers practicing their skills. It was colourful and enjoyable particularly with the Chief as a back drop.

Nice spot to stop for a washroom break, swim, picnic, or just some great views. There are some lookout points as well. Beautiful BC!
