Finally getting to do the Stawamus Chief Hike was nothing short of incredible! It’s most definitely the best hike in Squamish. It’s rated hard for a reason… expect lots of stairs, a bit of technical terrain and a never ending uphill climb. I highly recommend strong gripping, supportive hiking shoes, lots of water and snacks! The hike to the first and second peaks is 5km round trip and has an elevation gain of 655m. The views are absolutely worth the sweat! If you are looking to go hiking in British Columbia Canada, this should most definitely be on your list!

I have not hiked this in a decade. I'm a Torontonian like you (more Mississauga) but I absolutely adore Vancouver.
Such a great hike hey! Vancouver is where it's at, though Ontario will always be home ☺
Thank you, great video and love your positive energy!
Thank you so much! I appreciate this comment 😌
Thanks for sharing, I’m planning to do the hike soon and have found this information super helpful ☺️
Hey Jack - awesome! Really glad it helped you out. I can't wait to go back and hit the last peak!
Those trees really do make is look like a magical rainforest!! What an epic hike! Can’t wait to see what the 3rd peak looks like when you go back 😎
Stay tuned! I'm sure I'll be back as soon as I can get there 🤘
I love this video!! I’m going to start my journey at the end of the month! This motives me for The Chief ! Great video btw
Hey, thanks so much! Best of luck on your journey & have fun 😍
thank you for filiming this! enjoyed it and it was informative, exactly what I needed! i thought the ladder was higher but your full view shows its just one SMALL part - thank god. thanks and subscribed, + 1
Hey Artra, thanks so much for the positive feedback! This was such a great hike. I'm glad it was helpful for you 😊.
Looks like a fun hike - the views are breathtaking!!
Was super fun and extra challenging with the chains and ladders. I loved it!!
It's a great hike! I've done it a few times. I proposed to my wife at the first peak! Her engagement ring was stolen a year later, so when I got the replacement, we hiked back up so I could "put a ring on it" all over again! That was almost 20 years ago.
Omg! What a beautiful place to propose. Also bravo on the second time around 👏🏼. Absolutely love this hike. Can’t wait to do it again soon.
Thinking of going for this hike when I visit this fall! Video is very informative it helps me mentally prepare for whats coming.
Yessss do it! Honestly one of my favourites. It was challenging and the unique aspect of the chains/ ladders added a level of excitement. I’m very glad the video was helpful ☺️☺️☺️.
Thxs for sharing great views.
Hi Diane, thanks for watching 😊. Love sharing all of the beautiful places I go!
Can I start off by saying I’m jealous of your new backyard! Those views are to die for. And good for you hiking the Chief, all of those chains and ladders are way above my skill level lol. I can’t wait to see all of your adventures around your new home! I’m gonna have to come visit you one day!
The new backyard is just 🔥🔥🔥!! The chains and ladder were pretty neat. I love that sort of thing. Adds an extra element of difficulty and uniqueness to the hike. Would love for you to visit one day!!! I have a pull out couch 🙌
@@DameUntamed as soon as the borders open, I’m heading your way!
I’m liked your amazing hike up to the Chief, I’ll take the Gondola. Cheers!
I loved it! Can't wait to go back for the third peak 😊
What a beautiful area!
It's soooo stunning. I highly recommend checking out Squamish if you get a chance to visit!
Such an informative video!!! def gonna try this next year. just did Panorama ridge this weekend!
Hey, I'm glad you found it useful! You definitely have to do The Chief. How did you enjoy Panorama??
You seem like an energy machine. Cool!
I do have lots of energy to expend. I enjoy getting out for hikes and adventures as often as possible ☺️☺️☺️.
Congrats my friend ! 🙂
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just moved to Squamish from the GTA and thinking about going to do this hike today lol such a wicked spot. I drove here from Ontario, so got to really see how beautiful this country really is…. Pretty unreal
Did the first and second peak… so epic
Hey! So awesome... Squamish is beautiful. I spend quite a bit of time there. Glad to hear your went and did the hike. Make sure to do the third peak next time if you haven't got to it already 🤘
Wonderful trail review! I got an idea how trails to 1st and 2nd peaks. Thanks.
Hi Jamie, thanks so much for the feedback. I'm really glad it was helpful for you. Hope you make it to the Chief to experience it for yourself 😊.
My son and me did it yesterday. Awesome hike.
Amazing! Hope you had some nice weather and a beautiful, clear view from the top!
look so much fun and beautiful. great adventure
Was a great adventure, indeed!
And Remi Metallier mtb's these trails. Crazy.
Absolutely nuts eh?
Great ...
🙏🏼
Great video
Thanks Brad 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I like your video 🖖
Thank you!
beautiful hike, how long did it take to get all the way down?
Getting down was quite quick! I motored lol. Just under an hour I believe!
My hometown and I only hiked up once....I was about 12 and was with my mom, little Eddi who was 6 at the time and our shaggy sheepdog Terry. Not as many stairs back then...a bit more rugged.
Wow, not bad for a 6 year old. Glad you got to experience it at some point. I'm sure it was a little more rugged with less traffic back then.
@@DameUntamed Yes...much more rudimentary. As for the 6 year old...he was a wild child all his life and lived hard n fast and was full of energy - sadly, his ashes were sprinkled at Shannon Falls just this spring...yesterday was his birthday. A Squamish Boy through n through and he climbed The Chief more times than I will ever know....with his wife and kids, too. What I remember from our hike was the red biting ants!!!! We laid a blanket out for a picnic lunch and were attacked!!!! As far as traffic....we did see a few groups but no where near as popular as it is now. Squamish was a hidden gem back then....now it's The Outdoor Capital of North America. I plan on a visit back and a hike up The Chief is on the agenda....
That’s one difficult hike! Great job for doing that hopefully one day I can do that hahah but that day is far away haha
question what kind of shoes r u wearing I always wear addidas or Nike but they r not that comfortable for hikes
Again amazing job with the hike looked so hard 🙈🙈
Thanks so much! It was definitely difficult, but totally worth it! I wear proper, sturdy hiking boots whenever I take on a hike like this. I gravitate towards Salomon hikers. Great quality and super comfortable. But really, anything with good grip and support of your ankle will work just fine! Let me know if you have any more questions. I'm happy to make some more specific recommendations!
@@DameUntamed Excuse me I have a question can you make a video when you put a GoPro in your hiking shoe to make a POV video because some people make a GoPro video when they put a GoPro in their shoe
@@DameUntamed like a GoPro Shoe Mount Footage while hiking with Same clothes that you wear in this video
I wonder if I would be able to do this one 🤔 Maybe you'll have to go with me one day!
10000000% we are doing this !!!
do you recommend this hike for mid 50's in decent shape and how about hiking poles?
There are parts of this hike that are very steep as mentioned in the video, but I think with the proper gear (good shoes and polls for support), it would be very doable! Just remember to take your time, drink lots of water and rest when you need to! I would also plan this hike on a nice day… it get exponentially more challenging when wet as the rocks become extremely slippery!
@@DameUntamed Please make a Gopro Shoe Mount Video while hiking when you put your Gopro in your hiking show if that's possible for you
What month of the year did you go?
Hello there! This hike was done in April 😌.
are there any beaaars?
There's always a possibility of bears! It's a pretty popular hike and usually attracts a lot of people, so odds are the noise will discourage them for coming by. Always be prepared though 😊.
@@DameUntamed😂😊we😂
your body language is so mommy
😂😂😂
This isn't the best hike in squamish, it's just the easiest to get to for city folk
Some would say it’s the best! To each their own ☺️
