Squamish is a beautiful place surrounded by mountains and ocean views. We loved the outdoor activities, especially hiking the Chief and exploring Shannon Falls. The town has a relaxed, welcoming vibe with great cafés and local shops. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who enjoys nature and adventure.

To be honest did not see to much as it rained quite heavily so just had a rest day. When we did venture out it was for a walk along the river and to the good Japanese restaurant down the road, also the market up the road . So the large corner room was ideal, plenty of room and loved the bar area to look outside.

It was Canada day, we were looking for a restaurant, hard to find. As I turned off the pavement toward a place where some cars were parked, my car bottomed out, bam! I didn't see that drop coming. The city should never have such a drop off of pavement in town! I was too upset to stop and take a picture of it. I drove a short way and made sure my oil pan wasn't leaking......

We found it very touristy and trendy. And even at this time of year the traffic was terrible. Having said that, we did enjoy our stay and would highly recommend The Watershed restaurant which sits right on Squamish River.

It's a lot less touristy and frenetic than Whistler - so glad we stayed here and not there. Good variety of restaurants. And when the weather finally cleared the day we left we were able to get up the amazing Sea to Sky Gondola for fabulous views - it's jolly expensive and we only had time to do a couple of the short hikes - but still worth it. We also enjoyed driving out north and south to the various waterfalls and also discovering the Squamish Spit and Estuary - where we watched lots of otters frolicking.

Great place to base yourself if you are interested in the outdoors they have copious areas to go rock climbing, water rafting and also hiking, some of the most magnificent and breathtaking views over Grouse Lake can be seen from the many hiking trails in this area.
