5. Squamish Estuary Squamish
This is a list of Squamish villages. The Squamisn originally lived in the area around Howe Sound only, but were invited to Burrard Inlet by the Tsleil-waututh around 1800 to share that inlet after depopulation of the Tsleil-waututh by disease, resulting in overlapping territory with the Musqueam. The lowland and estuary of the Squamish River and other streams at the head of Howe Sound were their main domain before that; their territory and settlement reaches to Green Lake on the far side of today's Resort Municipality of Whistler, beyond which is the country of the Lil'wat. The islands of Howe Sound and the west coast of Howe Sound south to Gibsons are Squamish territory. The following list is partly based on John R. Swanton's The Indian Tribes of North America, publ. 1953.

The Amazing Sea to Sky Gondola Squamish British Columbia

Epic View from the Sea to Sky Gondola Squamish British Columbia

The Sea to Sky Gondola, Squamish BC is one of the incredible tourist attractions that is just a must see and it's only a short 45 minute drive up the scenic Sea to Sky highway from Vancouver.

The sea to sky gondola ascends high above the Chief (famous for rock climbing and hiking) and goes back into pristine rain forest. An incredible lodge has been perched at the top of the 10 minute gondola ride. The views are nothing less than magnificent. They have a fine dinning as well as casual food from the restaurant where you can either enjoy inside or outside on one of the decks overlooking the incredible view of Howe Sound.

On our way, we stopped by at Shannon Falls which is literally beside the parking lot of the Sea to Sky Gondola.
