Olesen Creek Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

This small, beautiful waterfall is accessed via a short, but steep hike on the Chief Peaks Trail. You can use this as a rest point for a longer hike into the mountains or as your destination and turn around point for a shorter, out and back hike.

Viewpoint at Stawamus Chief

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not everyone turns right off the trail to appreciate this stunning view but it's well worth it! Hike down off the trail on the grippy granite slabs and sit for a moment and appreciate the view over a blanket of tree tops to the mountains in the distance.

Stawamus Chief - Second Peak

Highlight • Summit

From the Second Peak of the Chief you probably have the best view, as you look at the First Peak and the bay with the surrounding mountains. A wonderful moment when you reach the top after the steep and strenuous hike and experience the breathtaking panorama.
