Description

Distance: 7 km (4.3 miles) roundtripElevation gain: 620 m (2,000 ft)Beautiful waterfallWinding trailStunning viewsGood workout

From the parking lot at the base of Shannon Falls, follow the signage to view the waterfall before heading up the ascending Chief pathway. Shannon Falls is a beautiful cascading waterfall - amazing sights if you catch it in the spring when the water levels are very high due to melting snow!

The trail up the Chief is very well marked, and there are man-made features to help in more difficult sections of trail (e.g. ropes, stairs, ladders). There are 3 possible peaks to climb, and the turnoff to each peak is well marked on signs along the way. Beautiful views from the top, no matter which peak you hike!

Hike BC's Shannon Falls

Towering above Howe Sound in Squamish, British Columbia, at 335 meters, Shannon Falls is BC's third largest waterfall, with two hiking loops for both beginner and intermediate hikers. The first of the two trails is approximately 350 meters in length and allows for a birds-eye view of the Falls, looking up from its base. Another 150 meters will lead you to look-out platform where you can view t...

Hike and Climb the Chief

If you are hiking this spot, you can do so even as a beginner so long as you have a good fitness level. I’ve seen people do this in jeans and dress shoes, although they are crazy. Wear some hikers and prepare to get your sweat on. There are three peaks, first is the most popular, second has the best views and third makes it a longer 11km hike. There is a 600m elevation gain in 1.5km, so this is...

Scramble Sky Pilot

Sky Pilot Mountain is the highest peak past Stawamus Chief, Squamish's famous vertical rock face. Luckily, the rock just beyond the Chief is just as beautiful and reliable for climbers, hikers, and scramblers looking to stretch their legs and challenge their vertigo limits on an exposed, thrilling summit push. Begin by taking the Sea-to-Sky gondola from Shannon Falls area. Unfortunately, the fi...

Hike Al's Habrich Trail

We arrived at the Sea to Sky Gondola in the early morning and rode up to the top in the gondola to where the trailhead was. Once at the top there was a gift shop and a suspension bridge with a wooden viewing platform. The trail goes to the left of the complex down an old logging road. It is well marked and easy to follow. Once on the trail it is fairly smooth sailing to the top. There are many ...

Snowshoe Al's Habrich Trail

Strap on your snowshoes and head up to the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish, about a 45 minute drive from Vancouver. You can either take the gondola up (~$40), or hike up the Sea to Sky Summit trail that begins near the parking lot to the chief to get to the trailhead for Al's Habrich. If doing the latter, make sure you leave super early during the winter season, as both trails combined would be ...

Boulder at the Stawamus Chief

There's so much climbing to be done here -- sport, trad, bouldering! If you're bouldering, it is always shady and cool so bring a light jacket. Most popular season to climb here is in the summer. *If you're visiting from out of town...Need to rent a crash pad or two?There are a few outdoor stores downtown that can provide some gear, but the only place I know of that handles crash pad rentals is...
