Sea to Sky Guides From Squamish Locals

Hi! We're Alia & Shawn.
We live in Squamish, which puts us right in the middle of the corridor. These aren't day trips for us — they're our backyard. We hike these trails, drive these roads, and visit these towns regularly, so you're getting guides based on real, repeated experience.
Destinations & Day Trips
Where to go and what to do once you get there.
Squamish Day Trip From Vancouver
BC's outdoor adventure capital is just an hour from the city, and here's how to make the most of a full day.
Is the Whistler Summer Gondola Worth It?
An honest take on whether the Peak 2 Peak gondola lives up to the hype when there's no snow on the ground.
10 Stops You Can't Skip on the Sea to Sky Highway
The best pullouts, viewpoints, and roadside attractions between Vancouver and Whistler that make this the best drive in the world.
Alpine & Backcountry Hikes
Longer, more demanding objectives — plan ahead, check conditions, and bring layers.
Wedgemount Lake Hike, Garibaldi Provincial Park
This is one of BC's most stunning alpine lakes, but it sits at the end of a grueling vertical climb. You can camp at the top if you can score a permit and haul all your gear up.
Joffre Lakes Hike, Pemberton
This hike's become so popular it now requires a permit. But you will understand the popularity once you visit the three iconic turquoise alpine lakes along a tough but manageable trail.
Watersprite Lake Hike, Squamish
The best spots in BC are often at the ends of the worst roads. This is epitomized with this iconic trail and the infamous FSR to the trailhead.
Day Hikes & Nature Walks
From beginner-friendly loops to half-day scrambles — something for every fitness level.
Crooked Falls Hike, Squamish Valley
A short hike with some challenging terrain that takes you past incredible views of Squamish valley up to one of the most interesting waterfalls in the Coast Mountains.
Murrin Loop & Jurassic Ridge Trail, Squamish
One of our favourite sunset spots along the Sea to Sky. There are a few ways to do this hike so you can make it as easy or hard as you like.
DeBeck's Hill Hike, Alice Lake Provincial Park
This trail was once a steep logging road, but has now been taken mostly back by the forest and climbs steadily up to a wide view of Squamish Valley.
Four Lakes Trail, Alice Lake Provincial Park
A family-friendly loop that meanders through classic BC old growth and connects four beautiful lakes. It's the perfect introduction to BC hiking.
Downtown Squamish Estuary Loop Trail
A flat, accessible loop through one of BC's most productive bird habitats. More of a stroll than a hike.
Mamquam Spawning Trail, Squamish
An easy riverside walk best timed for salmon season to see one of the coolest and smelliest natural spectacles in BC.
