Stawamus Chief Provincial Park is a classic example of British Columbia’s temperate rainforest, and it’s beloved by locals and visitors alike. As one of the largest granite monoliths in the world, climbers come to challenge themselves on its sheer face while hikers scramble up the trails on the back of the mountain. Both drive-in and walk-in campsites are located throughout the park, making it a perfect destination for outdoor lovers wanting to maximize their time in nature.
With three distinct peaks, summiting all three is a popular challenge for hikers in the area. The total hike is a round trip of 7 miles (11 kilometers) and should only be attempted by experienced hikers. The entire trip takes most people about 5–7 hours to complete.
