Sea to Summit trailhead

Highlight • Trail

This spot marks the beginning of the Sea to Summit trail, brilliant one way hike with incredible views over the Howe Sound and Sky Pilot Mountain. Allow 3-5 hours to get to the Summit Lodge at the top, where you can enjoy food and drink with fantastic views. You can buy a 'download' ticket at the lodge and enjoy a gondola ride back down to the trailhead.

August 21, 2022,Stawamus Chief - First Peak von Squamish
A hike on the largest monolith in the world. A must on our Vancouver to-do list. At almost 2 km it goes up 650 meters. Steep. And exhausting.
