Conveniently located only 45 minutes south of Whistler
and 45 minutes north of Vancouver,
the seaside community of Squamish is a diamond amongst many other jewels. The
community of Squamish consists of the suddivisions of Squamish, Garibaldi
Higlands, Brackendale
and Valley Cliff. The
name Squamish is adapted from the Coast Salish word 'Sko-mish' which translates
to 'Strong Wind' or 'Birthplace of the Winds', affirmation of the constant gales
that are present here. The eruption of Mount Garibaldi thousands of years ago
left remnants of granite throughout the city and adds drama to its already dynamic
landscape-complete with mountains, water and lush forests. Above all else, Squamish
is a recreational hot-spot conducive to windsurfing, mountain climbing, hiking,
scuba diving and kayaking, to name a few. Those who love the great outdoors should
check out Shannon
Falls Provincial Park, home to BC's third largest waterfall, as well as a
number of hiking trails.
