Stawamus Chief Provincial Park, home to the iconic granite cliffs known as the Stawamus Chief, offers challenging hiking trails with rewarding panoramic views of Howe Sound and the surrounding mountains. The park is best suited for experienced hikers due to the steep and rugged terrain. While solo visits are possible for confident hikers, guided tours can enhance the experience and safety, providing valuable insights into the local flora, fauna, and history. Accessibility is limited due to the natural terrain; the trails are not wheelchair accessible. The best time to visit is during the warmer months (May-October) when the trails are typically free of snow and ice. A typical visit to hike the Chief can last anywhere from 3 to 7 hours, depending on the chosen peak and fitness level. While the park itself is free to enter, parking fees may apply.
