Hiking the Stawamus Chief is an unforgettable experience that combines breathtaking scenery, physical challenge, and a sense of accomplishment. Here’s what you can expect from the hike:

We will start our hike from the Shannon Falls Provincial Park parking lot, where we’ll find the trailhead leading to all three peaks of the Stawamus Chief.

1. First Peak: The trail to the First Peak is a moderate ascent that offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. As we make our way up, you’ll be treated to glimpses of Howe Sound and the town of Squamish below.

2. Second Peak: The trail to the Second Peak becomes more challenging, with steeper sections and some scrambling required. We will navigate through rocky terrain, using chains and ladders for assistance in certain areas. But the effort is well worth it once you reach the summit, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views that stretch for miles in every direction.

3. Third Peak: If you’re up for the challenge, we can continue to the Third Peak, which offers even more spectacular views but involves a strenuous climb with exposure to steep drop-offs. The sense of accomplishment upon reaching the summit is truly exhilarating, as you take in the awe-inspiring scenery below.

Throughout the hike, you’ll be surrounded by the natural beauty of the Coast Mountains and the lush forests of British Columbia. Keep an eye out for wildlife along the way, including birds of prey soaring overhead and maybe even a glimpse of a black bear or deer.
