Deep Forest
Deep breaths. Deeper forest.
Slow down. Follow the trail. See where the forest takes you.
Stay two nights and receive $100 in Element Credits to experience more of Squamish.
Squamish sits at the head of Howe Sound, tucked between the Stawamus Chief and the Tantalus Range, and just beyond town the forest closes in. Old-growth cedars rise overhead, moss softens every trail, and shafts of light drift down through the canopy. Out here, the only sound is your own footsteps.
Stay two nights and you'll receive a $100 Element Credit toward local experiences that take you further in: a guided walk among ancient trees, a quiet morning with a good coffee on a forest trail, a well-earned beer after a long day under the canopy.
Let us inspire you.
Go Deep into the Forest
Slow down. Follow the trail. See where the forest takes you.
There's a different kind of magic in the forest when it rains. The air smells of cedar and damp earth, moss softens the forest floor, and droplets gather on ferns beneath towering evergreens. In Squamish, the coastal rainforest invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and discover the beauty of a little less rushing.
How to get here
Make the journey part of the experience with the Squamish Connector, travelling along the scenic Sea to Sky corridor from Vancouver. Watch the city give way to forested mountains and rugged coastline, and let yourself ease into a slower pace before you arrive.
Where to go
Follow the trail to Squamish Canyon, where an elevated boardwalk winds through lush rainforest above the dramatic Mamquam Canyon. Towering trees, cascading waterfalls, and the rushing river below bring the landscape to life, while interactive storytelling reveals more about the area's ecology and wildlife. Take your time at the viewpoints, listen to the water, and discover how rewarding it can be to simply wander beneath the canopy.
After a morning outdoors, make your way to Fox & Oak for specialty coffee and handcrafted baked goods. Known for its creative doughnuts and thoughtfully made treats, it's the perfect place to warm up and savour a slower moment. For something heartier, Peaked Pies serves Australian-inspired comfort food, from savoury pies topped with mashed potatoes, mushy peas, and gravy to sweet treats worth saving room for. Sometimes, the best part of a rainy-day adventure is having somewhere delicious to pause.
Where to stay
When it's time to settle in, escape to Sunwolf Riverside Resort, where cozy cabins sit among the trees beside the Cheakamus River. Unwind in the peaceful surroundings, listen to the river move past, and enjoy a slower evening surrounded by nature.
That's the beauty of finding your Deep Forest. It's the quiet of the rainforest, the comfort of a warm drink, and the feeling of having nowhere else you need to be.
