Shannon Falls and Stawamus Chief Hike in BC, Canada

Along the gorgeous Sea-to-Sky Highway to Squamish sits one of BC's most famous hikes, the Stawamus Chief. At the base is the gorgeous Shannon Falls, a gushing cascade that leads onto the trail that connects with the Chief. The hike is one of the more fun ones I've done, complete with ladders and ropes! There are three peaks at the Stawamus Chief, and you can hike one, two or all of them. The best view is from the first peak, but it's typically the busiest, so my favourite is second peak.
