Squamish is where the ocean meets the mountains in Sea to Sky Country and lies at the crossroads between incomparable outdoor recreation and unforgettable West Coast culture - where rugged landscapes and stunning vistas come together to create unique and memorable adventures. Squamish's popularity as a year-round destination for a myriad of activities has earned us the title of "Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada". The geography and climate of the Squamish area offer not only tremendous physical beauty but also world-class recreation opportunities. From hiking, biking, climbing, skiing, snowboarding, bird watching, golfing and sightseeing to sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, white-water rafting and fishing there is truly something for everyone. Winter visitors can enjoy eagle viewing, flight seeing, backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, fishing and horseback riding, to name just a few! Besides the array of outdoor activities, people choose Squamish because the community is made up of diverse people that are working together to find a balance between work, nature, and themselves. Whether your pleasure is sport, nature, arts, or culture; you will find a unique authenticity of ingredients in the makeup of Squamish. Whether you are arriving by plane, bus, car or train, the journey to Squamish is scenic and convenient. Highway 99 is well marked through the Vancouver area if you are driving, and Greyhound Canada offers regular service up the Sea to Sky Corridor. If you are flying into Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Pacific Coach Lines offers a direct shuttle from the airport to the Squamish Adventure Centre. Squamish History To fully understand the Squamish Story, one needs to look back beyond the eras of logging and adventure tourism, past the human definition of time to capture events that happened thousands or millions of years ago, and sometimes kilometers above and below us. The Squamish landscape was, and is, under a constant battle

  • Milford Sound, Airport Wall, Mile High Club New Zealand, Southern Alps
    AAC Publications Milford Sound, Airport Wall, Mile High Club New Zealand, Southern Alps In recent years I have been living between France and the USA, not really spending much time in my native New Zealand. My wife, Julie, is French, and our loose plan was to settle in France when our young son, Sam, started school. At the end of 2019, we had just finished a three-month road trip in California and headed back to NZ for Christmas—for what we intended to be a 10-week visit. But that was before COVID-19. In February, France began its first lockdown, and India, where I was meant to go in April to attempt Changabang, canceled all tourist visas. Since we were already in New Zealand, which at the time had no COVID- related restrictions, we took the easy option of staying there. A few months passed. New Zealand went through its own lockdown, which ended on May 13. We emerged with few restrictions, but we certainly weren’t leaving the country anytime soon. For two years, I had thought of Changabang daily, and for four months I’d been training cardio almost exclusively. Now I began looking for an outlet for all of the energy I had been saving for Changabang. There were no standout alpine objectives calling my name in New Zealand, but my friend Merry Schimanski, who was taking a year off work, was keen to help me develop a long rock route. Like me, he has a love of ground-up adventure climbing, and he is also well versed in establishing big granite lines.

OCP Designation: Zoning: ALR DP Area: Special Study Area Rural 1 Status: Wildfire Protection No RAR Callaghan Valley Conservation RECOMMENDATION: THAT staff proceed with the preparation of OCP and zoning amendment bylaws with respect to the Canadian Wilderness Adventures’ rezoning application. KEY ISSUES/CONCEPTS: Canadian Wilderness Adventures (CWA), which operates a commercial recreational tenure on Crown land in the Callaghan Valley, has submitted an application for rezoning (see Appendix 1). They have had a number of Temporary Use Permits (TUPs) from the SLRD over the years for a limited number of activities in the Callaghan Valley. Their current TUP will expire in November 2016 and cannot be renewed any further in its current form. CWA was previously advised that they should apply for permanent zoning for this area based on the expiry of their TUP. At this time it is appropriate to address all their existing land uses through zoning in a more permanent way. 1 Staff may consider incorporating the proposed zoning amendment bylaw as part of the overall Electoral Area D Zoning Review.

  • The Chief Dick Culbert
    The Chief Dick Culbert Its official name is Stawamus Chief, a ridge of modest elevation (652 m) squatting in a valley amid 1800 m and higher summits, directly above the port of Squamish. The Chief, however, is not so much a mountain as a wall. Solid granite, roughly a mile long, and up to 460 m in relief-altogether an impress­ ive looking cliff to have in the back yard of a town. Firm rock, serious dimen­ sions, and above all the Chief's easy access have made it the focal point of rock climbing on the W coast of Canada. A major highway skirts the base of the main walls, now an hour's drive from the city of Vancouver and 4 hours from the larger American metropolis of Seattle. Since the beginning of serious climbing at Squamish, it has been part of the 'Yosemite School'. Even at a time when Yosemite was a place known only from journals and rumours, Chief-enthusiasts attempted to apply what was known of the Californian techniques and the decimal system of grading. Almost without exception, those who have been most successful on the Chief, have gone on to become part of the Yosemite scene, bypassing the other American rock climbing centres in the traditional 1500 mile journey to that shrine. To be sure, there are some rough similarities between the 2 climbing areas. Both are granite and both are children of the Ice Age-the last glacier having pulled back from the Squamish Valley a mere 10,000 years ago. Beyond these factors there are some very important differences, however, which run almost entirely in favour of Yosemite.

  • “Salmon on the Rough Edge of Canada and Beyond”
    “Salmon on the Rough Edge of Canada and Beyond” A Squamish Thanksgiving By Matt Foy Located in south-western British Columbia, Canada, the Squamish River is a large glacial fed watershed. The brawling mountain river, with its major tributaries such as the Elaho, Cheakamus, Ashlu, and Mamquam Rivers drains from the rugged terrain of the BC Coast mountains into the head of Howe Sound, part of the Salish Sea. Once known for its prolific runs of pink salmon these runs were decimated during the late- twentieth century. This is a story about their remarkable recovery and some of the people who worked hard to see pink salmon return to this beautiful mountain domain. As summer slid into fall, the phenomenal pink salmon run to the Squamish River was just winding down. The run of 2013 had exceeded all expectations, and such an abundance of pink salmon had not been observed in over fifty years, since the memorable return of 1963. For many people, the 2013 return would seem to have come out of nowhere but many other people understood the hard work and dedication that had led to this remarkable recovery. In that season of giving thanks, it seems fitting to reflect back on the path that has led from the last great run of 1963 to the years when pink salmon were almost absent from the Squamish River watershed, to the fall of 2013, one of great abundance to be celebrated and remembered. Upper Howe Sound, Squamish, BC, Canada Photo: Courtesy Ruth Hartnup Boom and Bust The growth decades of the 1950’s through the 1970’s were not kind to pink salmon populations around the Strait of Georgia.

  • Geology and Geothermal Potential of the AWA Claim Group, Squamish
    Geology and Geothermal Potential- of the AWA Claim$koup, JAN t-l 5 2004 I Squamish, British Columbia Gold COmIniSSioner’S Office I VANCOUVER,B.C. I Prepared for Lisa Rummel & AWA Spa Glenn J. Woodsworth, P. Geo. April 2003 3 SUMMARY A geologicalstudy was done on the AWA group of 6 mineral claims with a view to assessingthe geothermalpotential. The claims are almost entirely underlain by granitic rocks of the latest JurassicCloudburst pluton and, south of the Stawamus River, by the mid-CretaceousSquamish pluton. Fracture and joint analysisshows a , weak north-northeast trend, but fractures tend to be widely spaced.No signsof faulting or of igneousactivity related to Garibaldi volcanism were seenon the .zproperty. Faults, if they exist, are likely to be narrow, making them difficult drilling targets. The low regional heat flow-. and the lack of a “plumbing system”in the granitic, rocks on the property indicate that the geothermalpotential is very low. No further work is warranted. INTRODUCTION The AWA claim group consistsof 6 mineral claims,AWA #l to 6, stakedOctober 8, 2002,and owned by Lisa Rummel. The claims are situated in and just eastof the District of Squamishmunicipality, northeast of the subdivision of Valleycliffe (Figure 1). On the southwest,the claim group abuts StawamusChief Provincial Park and private property of the Valleycliffesubdivision and Squamishwaterworks. I was contracted by the owner to make a geologicalappraisal of the geothermal potential of the claim group and to make suggestionsfor further work. Field work was done in two long days;this work was supplementedwith an air photo study and review of the recent geologicalliterature on the region.

  • Chapter 3 Intrusive Igneous Rocks
    Chapter 3 Intrusive Igneous Rocks Learning Objectives After carefully reading this chapter, completing the exercises within it, and answering the questions at the end, you should be able to: • Describe the rock cycle and the types of processes that lead to the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, and explain why there is an active rock cycle on Earth. • Explain the concept of partial melting and describe the geological processes that lead to melting. • Describe, in general terms, the range of chemical compositions of magmas. • Discuss the processes that take place during the cooling and crystallization of magma, and the typical order of crystallization according to the Bowen reaction series. • Explain how magma composition can be changed by fractional crystallization and partial melting of the surrounding rocks. • Apply the criteria for igneous rock classification based on mineral proportions. • Describe the origins of phaneritic, porphyritic, and pegmatitic rock textures. • Identify plutons on the basis of their morphology and their relationships to the surrounding rocks. • Explain the origin of a chilled margin. 65 Physical Geology - 2nd Edition 66 Figure 3.0.1 A fine-grained mafic dyke (dark green) intruded into a felsic dyke (pink) and into coarse diorite (grey), Quadra Island, B.C. All of these rocks are composed of more than one type of mineral. The mineral components are clearly visible in the diorite, but not in the other two rock types. A rock is a consolidated mixture of minerals. By consolidated, we mean hard and strong; real rocks don’t fall apart in your hands! A mixture of minerals implies the presence of more than one mineral grain, but not necessarily more than one type of mineral (Figure 3.0.1).
