Snowshoeing & Photography Tour of Vancouver Mountains
Highlights
-
Your tour begins with pickup from your Vancouver hotel, where you’ll greet your guide and board a climate-controlled vehicle destined for the splendors of Stawamus Chief Provincial Park. After a 1-hour drive along the British Colombia Highway, also known as the Sea to Sky Highway because of its scenic landscapes, you’ll arrive in Stawamus Chief Provincial Park. The Chief, an imposing granite monolith that towers 2,300 feet (700 meters) above the ground, is the second-largest free-standing rock in the world. Set off on your 2-hour hike to the top and receive insightful tips to improve your photography of the majestic landscapes you pass. After reaching the summit, you’ll be rewarded with incredible views of the natural park. Spend an hour here, snapping photographs and absorbing the surrounding beauty, before you begin the downhill hike. Your tour concludes with drop-off back at your Vancouver hotel.
