You didn't fly half way around the world to stand in a long line waiting for some trumped up tourist trap right? Then let's get you off the beaten path and find some fun things to do in Vancouver.

Hike The Chief Mountain In Squamish

This classic Vancouver hike gets you a bird's eye view of Howe Sound, as well as some incredible surrounding glaciers. Challenge yourself on this grueling, yet rewarding climb from just above sea level to just over 2000 feet. Some well placed chains and ladders put a little mountaineering feel to this beginner friendly Vancouver hike, plus you'll go home with some pretty hardcore looking photos.

Make this trip worry free by going with a guide, to handle everything from transportation to lunch to telling you funny stories and teaching you foraging skills along the way. We recommend the Sea to Sky Hiking Adventure With Lunch from Fresh Adventures.
