In Squamish- a town which lies at the halfway point between driving from Vancouver to Whistler is a very popular hiking area known affectionately as 'The Chief'. There are three target peaks that you can hike to which entail hiking up long trails that go straight uphill. Finally having to climb around rock usually needing to hold onto chains that have been nailed into the rock. It is quite popular and a fun 1.5- 3 hour hike(depending on which peak you choose). The view from the top is just amazing.
Naturally at the top you need to take a rest. I can't believe I did the hike with those skate shoes on!
You can see Ritsy standing here at the top next to a Rock Cairn. I could never figure out why people make those things....
The hike is long and at times tiring, but in the end when you see a viewpoint as beautiful as this of Howe Sound, you remember why you did it in the first place!
