    "The Chief" is unique, beautiful and very steep. In just 2.5 km you can cover 700 meters in altitude, through a beautiful forest. The view above is fascinating and worth the effort. Shoes with good grip are an advantage, especially when climbing smooth rocks.

      Avoid rainy days, big slippery slabs at the top. Sumptuous view.

        A series of steps, ladders and chains assist you to the summit of the first top of Stawamus Chief - an impressive granite monolith that looms over Squamish. The slabs are best enjoyed in warm, dry weather.
