    First Nations chief suggests Slhx̱í7lsh as the new name for Stanley Park's Siwash Rock - cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/stanley-park-siwash-rock-squamish-name-1.4352536

      The Siwash Rock is a monolithic one. It is located just off the northwest coast of Stanley Park and rises up to 18 meters high. The rock is considered a natural landmark of the city.



      The rock is of volcanic origin and was formed around 32 million years ago. Magma rose to the surface through a fissure in the earth's crust and formed a basalt column in the middle of the sedimentary rock that now forms the park's floor. This was more resilient than the surrounding sandstone rocks, which were worn away by erosion over time. Siwash Rock is the only rock of its kind in the Vancouver region

        Danger! There is a lot going on here on nice days and you have to be careful when cycling! Everyone is flashed off the rock and there are unexpected braking manoeuvres.
