More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift off from the Sea to Sky Air base and the Squamish Valley unfolds beneath you—granite cliffs dropping to fjord-dark water, alpine lakes flashing like coins, and serrated ridgelines frosting into glaciers. The aircraft banks gently; through your headset the pilot points out a secret waterfall tumbling from a hanging valley and, a little farther on, the improbable turquoise of Lake Lovely Water daring you to remember there's a world beyond the road.
