Squamish BC Canada travel & lodging

Squamish British Columbia is the outdoor recreation capital of Canada. This west coast town on the tip of Howe Sound is surrounded by nature. Squamish is conveniently located between Vancouver and Whistler on the beautiful Sea to Sky highway.

Squamish British Columbia Canada is transforming from a logging town to a town built on higher education, recreation, arts and culture. Squamish is surrounded by the dramatic, glaciated peaks of the West Coast Mountains. It is a picture-postcard setting that has attracted many Hollywood moviemakers.

Squamish is the outdoor recreation capital of Canada and the list of out door activities offered here is impressive. Windsurfing, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, golf, eagle watching and white water rafting are some of the activities that are most readily associated with the Squamish area.

Squamish is a classic example of small town Canada, relaxed, pristine, adventurous and friendly. A couple of days in Squamish and you may not want to leave, that is what happened to me! I love to live, work and play in Squamish BC.
