<p><strong>Squamish: </strong></p>

<ul>
<li>The town of Squamish had its beginning during the construction of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway in the 1910s. It was the first southern terminus of that railway (now a part of CN). The town remains important in the operations of the line and also the port.</li>
<li>Squamish is nestled between Vancouver and Whistler along the Sea to Sky corridor, one of North America’s most scenic coastal routes. Its spectacular 360- degree views range from snow-capped mountains to glacial lakes to old-growth forests to the turquoise waters of the Howe Sound fjord that look almost too good to be true.</li>
<li>Guarded by the Stawamus Chief and inhabited by North America’s highest concentration of wintering bald eagles, Squamish is an authentic West Coast mountain town with an award-winning craft brewery and distillery, farm to table dining experiences, sidewalk cafés, driftwood beaches, a rich First Nations culture and an expansive network of walking, hiking and mountain biking trails begging to share your adventure.</li>
<li>Last year CNN Money named Squamish "Best Mountain Town for a Summer Getaway in North America", and the New York times listed Squamish 32nd (in the world) in its article "52 Places to Go in 2015".</li>
<li>The 30 km/18.6 mile hike from the trailhead at Rubble Creek to Panorama Ridge takes you through beautiful and deep forests, across countless idyllic streams, through meadows filled with flowers, and past dozens of jaw dropping viewpoints. The amazing views start once you reach Taylor Meadows and get even more spectacular as the trail progresses.
 Once you arrive at Panorama Ridge and its phenomenal vantage point, high above Garibaldi Park, you will stare in wonder. Mesmerized first by Garibaldi Lake, far below you and looking unnaturally blue, the lake looks amazing surrounded by green, untouched wilderness and snow capped mountains.</li>
