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.

Olesen Creek Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

This small, beautiful waterfall is accessed via a short, but steep hike on the Chief Peaks Trail. You can use this as a rest point for a longer hike into the mountains or as your destination and turn around point for a shorter, out and back hike.

Rocky Ascent in Stawamus Chief Provincial Park

Highlight • Climb

Much less people than on the chieftain hikes. The views are amazing and those with energy left can walk back over the chieftain peaks. The trail starts off very steep, so don’t overpace in the beginning. All in all it’s a pleasant half day adventure.
