Stawamus Chief, Squamish

April 6, 2015 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

We conquered the Chief!
With a 600m elevation gain and towering over the surrounding mountains, the Stawamus Chief is one of the most popular hikes in BC.. and it was pretty tough! Definitely made us realise how unfit we are (too much poutine?). The steep narrow section including rope climbs and ladder at the top of the second peak made for a fun hike (approx 2.5 hours)... Plus the view at the top was totally worth it!
Wildlife sighting of the day was some super cute little squirrels :-) Oh and we got a few comments on the gigantic sandwich we were eating.. check out the photo, that was only the half size option!Read more
