Start from 28 curated places around Squamish, CA, then choose the recommendations that fit your guests.
Restaurants & cafés
Fergie's Cafe
The brunch spot on the river at Sunwolf Lodge, twenty minutes north in Cheekye. Worth the drive for benedicts in a wood-and-river-rock dining room with the Squamish River out the window.
The Crabapple Cafe
An easy, organic-leaning all-day cafe in Garibaldi Estates with strong plant-based options and a porch that catches sun most of the year. The kind of place locals stop in twice a week for a real meal disguised as a snack.
Trails & outdoors
Stawamus Chief Trail
The signature Squamish hike, straight up the back of the granite monolith via stairs, chains, and a final ladder to a wide-open summit. Steep, sweaty, and the best Howe Sound view your legs can buy.
Four Lakes Trail
An easy 6 km loop through Alice Lake Provincial Park linking four small swimmable lakes through second-growth forest. The family-friendly counterpart to everything else on this list.
Things to do
Sea to Sky Gondola
A ten-minute ride from highway level to a 885-metre Summit Lodge with a suspension bridge across a granite chasm and an easy network of viewpoint loops at the top. The rainy-day plan that still delivers Coast Mountain drama.
Britannia Mine Museum
A century-old copper mine restored as a hands-on museum with an underground train ride into the original tunnels and a mill that thunders on demand. Best industrial-history visit on the Sea-to-Sky corridor.
Landmarks & sights
Shannon Falls Provincial Park
A 335-metre waterfall five minutes off the Sea-to-Sky Highway, with a paved trail to the viewing platform that delivers third-tallest-in-BC drama for almost no effort. The pull-out lot is the easiest scenic stop between Vancouver and Squamish.
Squamish Estuary
A flat tidal floodplain on the edge of downtown where the Squamish and Mamquam rivers braid out into Howe Sound. Locals come for the unobstructed Chief views, the birdlife and the easiest sunset walk in town.
