Sea to Sky Hiking Trails Reviews, Guides and Maps

View of the Tantalus mountain range from across the Howe Sound

Welcome to the Sea to Sky hiking region.

This region spans the Howe Sound just north west of Downtown Vancouver along the recently renovated Highway 99 north into the Squamish Valley to Pemberton and includes a variety of microclimates. Experience coastal beaches, old growth forests, famous waterfalls like Bridal Falls or intense vertical hikes up the Stewamus Chief.

* Please note: Many trails are seasonal due to the ski season restrictions, limited daylight and heavy snowfall during winter months.

* Also: Due to winter conditions on Highway 99, winter tires or tire chains may be required from October to March. Check Drive BC for current road conditions.
