Squamish Located halfway between downtown Vancouver and Whistler's high alpine, Squamish is known as the Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada. This is where the ocean meets the mountains in Sea to Sky country. It lies at the crossroads between incomparable outdoor recreation and unforgettable West Coast culture. It's where rugged landscapes and stunning vistas come together to create memorable adventures. Activities include hiking, rock climbing, kite surfing and more. Alice Lake Surrounded by towering mountains, dense forests and grassy areas, there are four fresh water lakes that dominate the landscape and make swimming and fishing very enjoyable pastimes. This family- favorite provincial park with a sandy beach offers excellent views of the Squamish River and the Tantalus Range. Tantalus Lookout This viewpoint along the Sea to Sky Highway is one of the most impressing in the region. The lookout allows visitors to get out of their cars, stretch their legs and overlook these beautiful snow-capped mountains as well as the valley and river below. An awe-inspiring sight, this detour is not to be missed along this scenic roadway as few stops are allowed along this route. Brandywine Falls A spectacular 229 foot waterfall and park that provides opportunities for hiking, picnics and mountain biking.
