National Geographic Traveler "When it comes to the outdoors, almost anything goes in Squamish. What makes Squamish a great adventure base? “You can see for your-self,” local mountaineering expert Kevin McLane told me early in the visit. From the 2100-foot Stawamus Chief a climbing destination that offers 300 climbing routes we could see Howe Sound, whose consistent breezes attract windsurfers from around the world. |

Come spring and summer, the prodigious snowmelt fuels 5 kayaking and rafting rivers. The 200 miles of biking routes in the area range from gentle to forest tight switchbacks. Squamish is now seen as a sports haven." |
