Squamish

The landscape around Squamish is defined by steep, forested Coast Mountains and the tidal waters of Howe Sound, which have shaped both the town’s layout and its outdoor-focused economy. At the northern end of Howe Sound, the community lies on the traditional territory of the Squamish Nation, whose name is reflected in the town’s identity. The Stawamus Chief, a vast granite monolith above town, is a major climbing and hiking landmark, while nearby Shannon Falls underscores the area’s wet coastal setting. Squamish also sits on the Sea-to-Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler, making it a familiar stop for travellers, climbers and mountain bikers.
