AdventureSmart Trail Specific Safety Video - The Stawamus Chief Trail

The Stawamus Chief is a granite monolith that stands 700m over Squamish, BC Canada with sheer cliffs dropping to the valley floor. Hiking to the summit of this granite outcrop has quickly become one of the most popular hikes in the Sea to Sky region. Although relatively short, this trail sees a high number of easily avoidable injuries and search and rescue incidents each year.
Let AdventureSmart guide you through the Three Ts helping you plan, and prepare, for this famous Squamish trail.
The British Columbia Search and Rescue Association supported this initiative.

If you are going to make an informational video pointing out things like "missing the switchback" show a top down on the map then show an actual shot of the hike where the switch back is.
