Smoke Bluffs Park
A granite climbing park right next to town, with hundreds of short routes suitable for beginners. Walking trails offer views of the Chief and Howe Sound.
Smoke Bluffs Park lies just east of downtown Squamish. It is one of North America's best-known single-pitch climbing areas, with hundreds of traditional and top-rope routes ranging from beginner to advanced. Several climbing schools in town offer half-day or full-day introductory courses here, so beginners can try it. Visitors who are not climbing can follow the park's loop trail, which takes about an hour and offers views of the Stawamus Chief, Howe Sound, and the town from lookouts. Admission is free. Parking is on Loggers Lane. Note: climbing requires proper gear or a guide, and rock faces are slippery after rain.
