Squamish..... isn’t that some type of vegetable?

Margaret and Colin had plans to visit a friend so no driving today – hooray! Unfortunately, it was raining when we woke up this morning so we opted out of driving back to Whistler or going on a long hike. After a lazy morning we headed into Squamish and the so called “beach”. The area was industrial and is currently under development so it’s not very pretty. There is a hiking trail and amongst all the driftwood there is a small beach (it was high tide so that probably made the beach even smaller). Zaph didn’t care – he had a great time splashing in the water chasing sticks. From the beach you could see Shannon Falls and Stawamus Chief. This enormous mountain of solid granite is a magnet for climbers who flock to “the Chief” to scale its immense vertical walls, long cool slabs and beautiful cracks (in case you can’t tell I stole this sentence). This area has a lot of trails so it would be worth a longer visit ... maybe next time.

Not another dog on a bench photo!... yep.. this bench was dedicated to Albert Carlson, not a lot of other details about the person were available, but Zaph liked the location next to water.
