Tantalus Lookout
A roadside lookout on the Sea-to-Sky Highway, facing the glaciers of the Tantalus Range and the Squamish River valley. A must-stop photo spot for drivers.
Tantalus Lookout lies on the east side of Highway 99, about 17 kilometers north of Squamish, on the northbound side. Across the road are the glacier-covered Tantalus Range and below it the Squamish River valley. Interpretive signs explain the origin of the mountain names and local First Nations legends. Parking and viewing take just 10 to 15 minutes. Admission is free. Note: the lookout is on the northbound side, so southbound drivers cannot turn left easily. It is best to stop on the way north to Whistler. On overcast days, the peaks are often hidden by clouds.
