"If you were to drive to Whistler, the midway point would be Squamish. However, if time were tight, you could make this your destination and not be any worse for it. En route to Squamish, you could take a couple of hours to stop at the Britannia Mining Museum where you can take a tram into an actual mine and learn about the area’s mining history. (That said, if you are tight on time, head straight to Squamish.) The highlight of Squamish is The Chief, a granite monolith that draws both rock climbers and hikers. Hiking trails also include one that leads to the Sea to Sky Gondola. If you hike up, you can have a glass of wine or beer at the bar up top while you marvel at the BC fjords and then take the gondola down. Or you could take the gondola up and back and save even more time. The town of Squamish is a nice place for lunch or a drink; it has three breweries and two cideries, too." - MATADOR_NETWORK
