SQUAMISH BC Welcome to Squamish, the Outdoor Recreational Capital of Canada! Located between Vancouver and Whistler in Sea to Sky country, Squamish is famous for its snow-capped peaks, lush rainforests, white-water rivers, ocean sound and massive granite monolith—the Stawamus Chief. The incredible range of geological features—borne from the interplay of volcanic activity and an ice age—attracts adventurers and sightseers all year round.

Squamish means “Mother of Wind” and is named after the peoples of the Coast Salish culture who live here today, and whose descendants have inhabited the region for millennia. On sunny days between May to September, Squamish’s thermal winds sweep up the valley, creating perfect conditions for sailing, kiteboarding and windsurfing. Other spring, summer and autumn activities include rock climbing, golfing, fishing and white-water rafting. Since Squamish has a mild climate, many activities can be enjoyed all year, such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, flight seeing and gondola sightseeing. In the winter, travellers visit to experience eagle watching and backcountry skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling.

No matter the season, Squamish has plenty of community events, markets and festivals to keep the whole gang entertained, whether you’re looking for an intimate gathering, family-friendly entertainment, sporting events or world-class festivals. The Test of Metal is an epic mountain-bike race in mid-June that features some of the gnarliest cross-country and downhill riding on the West Coast. In August, the Squamish Days Loggers Sports Festival showcases Squamish’s rich heritage, whereas the Squamish Valley Music Festival blends a music festival with the nostalgia of a vintage family holiday. Community markets gather together local farmers, foodies, artists and designers to offer a smorgasbord of culinary and artisanal delights.

To learn about Squamish’s history, stop by the Squamish Museum at the West Coast Railway Heritage Park. The

area was first visited by Europeans when Captain George Vancouver and crew sailed up Howe Sound in 1792 aboard the ship Discovery. In the next century tens of thousands of traders and prospectors flocked to the port on their journey up to the Cariboo Gold Rush of 1858.

Squamish transitioned into a farming community when Alec Robertson and his wife became the first non-native settlers in 1888. Forestry gradually replaced the agrarian economy, and when a railway was built connecting Squamish to Vancouver in 1956—followed by a road two years later—the community took steps towards welcoming the world to experience its astounding beauty.

The original adventure tourists were from the British Columbia Mountaineering Club, climbers who were eager to make first attempts on the peaks encircling the Squamish Valley. Today, no visit to Squamish is complete without a hike up the Stawamus Chief, the second largest granite monolith in the world. Formed from an ancient volcano, the Chief is in fact a magma chamber that was exposed when glaciers eroded the softer, surrounding rock during the last ice age. The view from the top encompasses downtown Squamish, the sparkling waters of Howe Sound, and the surrounding mountain peaks—a true reward for your efforts. For those who would like to experience the views from an alternate angle, take an accessible and exhilarating ride on the Sea to Sky Gondola. At the top, there are a number of viewing platforms, a breathtaking suspension bridge, and easy hikes to enjoy the ever-changing views as you circle around the Summit Trail Network.

Whether you’re seeking exciting activities, physical exertion, an adrenaline rush, or a simple connection with nature in a friendly, welcoming community, Squamish has it all. We suggest checking out the extra detail in this guide that describes the three main geographic areas of Squamish and their related features and activities—the Executive Suites, Garibaldi and Downtown. Enjoy your stay!

The guest suites feature fully-equipped kitchens, which is perfect for those who like to wine and dine at their own pace, mingled in with all the incredible activities right at your doorstep. Or mix it up for a few meals and enjoy casual fine dining at the resort’s restaurant & lounge, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Step off the back patio of the Executive Suites and you’ll find yourself playing a round at the unique Garibaldi Springs Resort golf course, where you can play a choice of disc, soccer, or traditional golf. This course offers family-friendly fun and some of the most spectacular views in the area.

If you enjoy exploring by bike, the Executive Suites is located near the Squamish Corridor Trail, which provides a safe and relaxing way to travel right to Downtown Squamish. Local, single-track trails can also be accessed from the hotel, so you can spend less time driving and more time playing!

The

GARIBALDI Estates The Garibaldi Highlands and Garibaldi Estates are two areas with names which echo that of Squamish’s impressive Mount Garibaldi, whose namesake was Giuseppe Garibaldi, a 19th century Italian general.

The mountain itself is a volcano that grew unusually when it exploded onto a massive glacier during the last ice age. 10,000 years ago, when the ice receded, the sides of the mountain collapsed, leaving a debris feature known as the Cheekye Fan. Many local residents have made their home in the Highlands, as the sunny area is built on the hillside benches that overlook the whole Squamish valley and the blue waters of Howe Sound. To the north, Garibaldi Estates has a vibrant mix of residential, commercial and retail properties. This is a great place to pick up just what you need while you’re in town.

You’ll find grocery stores, a post office, liquor store, convenience stores, gas stations and a variety of restaurants. On Tantalus Road, behind Extra Foods, is Squamish’s restaurant row, with many ethnic eateries to choose from.

The area is also a hub for a diverse range of sporting activities. Located along the bends of the Mamquam River, The Squamish Valley Golf Club is popular with Vancouver and Whistler golfers for its classic parkland and five lakes built into the design.

Brennan Park is a community recreational facility with ball and soccer fields, BMX track, skateboard park, mini bike skills area, campground, pool, ice rink and civic centre.

Drive south a few kilometres down Highway 99 and you’ll enter the Squamish Business Park, located between the Garibaldi area and the downtown. The Business Park hosts large, service-based businesses such as a distillery of fine spirits, automotive sales and repair shops, home building and furnishing stores, and manufacturing businesses.

KEEPING PEOPLE & BEARS SAFE IN SQUAMISH Squamish is located in prime black bear habitat, so whether you are hiking in the forest or strolling through a residential area, you may encounter a bear. Seeing a bear can be a memorable experience, but to protect yourself and keep bears wild, it is important to understand how to behave around them. This requires an understanding of bears and their behavior as well as the role people play in creating conflicts.

If a bear appears to be a threat to human safety; is accessing non-natural foods; or is destroying property, call 1-877-952-7277.

For more information on vacationing in bear country, email us at info@bearsmart.com or visit us online at bearsmart.com

DOWNTOWN Squamish Located at the north end of Howe Sound, the downtown quarter is the business hub of Squamish, and primed for an exciting expansion with the new Squamish Oceanfront development. Once an agricultural area and trading post in the 1890’s, the downtown area began to grow with the completion of a railway connection to Pemberton in 1914, as well as the construction of a deep sea dock and marina.

Now an economic centre, downtown Squamish offers a wide variety of amenities to explore, including specialty shops, boutiques, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, City Hall, public library, grocery stores, a post office, art galleries, retail shops, and the Squamish Yacht Club.

One of the first stops you should make when you arrive in town, is to visit the Squamish Adventure Centre, located just off Highway 99 at Cleveland Avenue. You can’t miss the sweeping mountain architecture, huge glass windows and stone Inukshuk out front. Grab a coffee at Caffe Garibaldi while the kids zip around the play area, watch a movie in the 45 seat theatre, and learn about all of the activities and adventures you can do in Squamish at the Visitor Information Centre. The Squamish Adventure Centre also has a handy bike wash area, so you can clean your bikes at the end of your day.

From the downtown, it’s a short drive to access your next outdoor adventure in Squamish’s phenomenal natural surroundings, at the Sea to Sky Gondola, Shannon Falls, and the Stawamus Chief climbing routes and hiking trails.

“Compassion, friendliness, expertise and integrity.�

It is our pleasure to recommend Jack Fowler as a top real estate agent who helped us to not only sell our house, but buy our dream house.

He always tried his best, and was armed with excellent advice to help us get the best deal possible.

We recommend him for his compassion, friendliness, expertise, and integrity.
