This past summer, I hiked the Chief in Squamish for my first time. My friend that I hiked with is a very advanced hiker, so the pace we were hiking at was definitely a challenge, but I really enjoyed it. It was in July, so the heat also made the journey more difficult and tiring, but the summer weather made the view so clear and beautiful. When hiking the Chief, there are three separate peaks that you can go to. I was under the impression that we were only going one, or maybe two peaks. It turns out that my friend wanted to go to all three…this sounded really intimidating and I was unprepared as far as snacks and water went. However, I’m so glad we did it because the view at the top of each peak got better and better. The water was a beautiful light blue colour and the contrast of the dark blue mountains made it the perfect picture. The photo I inserted below was at the second peak. I couldn’t find a photo of the third peak, but somehow it was even better! I definitely would recommend this hike to anyone looking for a fun and challenging yet rewarding adventure.
