100 Years of SquamishSquamish has a lot to celebrate this year.

It has been 100 years since the name

“Squamish” was adopted and since the

original townsite, today’s downtown area,

was completed. 1914 was a big year for

Squamish, and 2014 is even bigger! Join us

this year for one, or several, of our events as

we celebrate 100 years of Squamish!

Human HistoryAs long as 5,000 years ago descendants of

the Sko-mish, or Squamish people, arrived

at the Howe Sound. For thousands of years

the Squamish Nation has called Squamish

home, as this land provided a lush Valley for

their families to hunt, trap and fish.

we’ve got history!squamish

back in time. The “Train Museum” as the kids call it, offers an interactive glimpse at

Canada’s railway history. Take a ride on the Miniature Railway and walk through the

park’s many exhibits. Some of the older exhibits are housed in the CN Roundhouse

The perfect stop between Vancouver and

Whistler to step back in time to learn what

life was like when Britannia was a mining

town, and as one of the British Empire’s top

producing copper mines. Now 110 years

later, the National Historic Site features fun,

modern and historical exhibits, the awe-

inspiring 20-storey Mill building, as well as

the memorable underground train and gold

SQUAMISH IS NORTH AMERICA’S PREMIER ROCK CLIMBING DESTINATION. The single most defi ning characteristic of the rock is not the sticky granite but the variety of routes available. The season extends from early spring to late fall and the climbing zone stretches from Murrin Lake Provincial Park to Whistler with the majority of climbing on the cliffs and walls that surround the stunning and world famous Stawamus Chief.

straight-in splitter hand-crack is beside the

the best cracks of its grade in Squamish and

an excellent novice lead.

popular route follows a long corner system

with lots of enjoyable laybacking.

Located at the Upper Malamute – this stellar

long crack leads up the middle of the wall

with the crux at the bottom and has fantastic

leads into a finger crack and eventually

widens to hands.

excellent, physical climb that follows steep

left-facing corner cracks.

Difficult (5.10b +)Exasperator (5.10c – 2 pitches)

adventurous climb offers both crack and face

climbing in varied terrain.

with great views of some of the best climbing

in Canada.

BASE OF THE CHIEF

steep shear granite on the face of the Chief.

It is home to the most famous rock climbing

in Canada. To catch a glimpse of the climbers

high on the walls, park at the Stawamus

wildlife

SQUAMISH IS LOCATED IN PRIME WILDLIFE HABITAT. From the wintering bald eagles and running salmon, to chipmunks, coyotes and bears, we share this area with all sorts of wildlife.

EaglesBetween November and January each

year, Squamish hosts one of the largest

congregations of wintering bald eagles in

North America.

Bear AwareBlack bears can be black, brown, blonde or

cinnamon. These stunning animals are born

wild and wary of humans. Seeing a bear

in its natural habitat can be a memorable

experience, but please keep our bears wild

by following these simple steps:

» stay calm and do not run

» never turn your back on wildlife

» back away and give the bear space

» talk calmly

» avoid eye contact

» have deterrent ready

» do not attract or feed wildlife

Where to viewINSIDER

tipEAGLE RUN PARK Located on the municipal dyke, across from the Easter Seal Camp on Government Road in Brackendale. Exit Highway 99 at Mamquam Road and head north on Government Road

Eagle Viewing & Floats Squamish plays host to one of the largest

congregations of wintering bald eagles in

North America between the months of

November and January. There are two ways

to view them, from land or on the water. If

land is your choice, be sure to stop by the

“Eagle Run Park” viewing facility located on

the municipal dyke in Brackendale. If you

want to take in the action by water go on a

float trip and view the regal eagles in their

natural environment.

Snowshoeing The scenic alpine terrain throughout

Squamish provides a winter wonderland for

snowshoers. New for this year, the Sea to

Sky Gondola is offering 5 marked snowshoe

trails and equipment rentals.

Backcountry Skiing & Snowboarding The Squamish area offers extraordinary

backcountry mountain experiences with

ancient forests, alpine huts and deep

powder. A popular local ski touring area

is Paul Ridge near Red Heather Shelter in

Garibaldi Provincial Park.

Nordic Skiing From treks through ungroomed routes

by frozen waterfalls and cedar groves, to

the world-class Nordic facilities in the

Callaghan Valley, you will find a cross-

country skiing experience for every level

and every skier.

SnowmobilingSquamish is the perfect home base for a

snowmobiling vacation offering access to

the best snowmobiling terrain in South

Western BC. All of the major trailheads

offer mountain access and are within a

30 to 60 minute drive. A local favourite is

the Brohm Ridge area located 10 minutes

north of Squamish.
