Things to Do in Valleycliffe
Cycling and Mountain Biking
The geography in Valleycliffe is ideal for many outdoor activities, especially cycling. The smooth, elevated roads on Smoke Bluffs offer exceptional views of Howe Sound and the surrounding area, while the forested area to the east of Valleycliffe has multiple trails to choose from. Intermediate to expert mountain bikers will love the challenges of the Valleycliffe trails, while beginners can also benefit from casual rides in less populated subdivisions.
Hiking and Walking Through the Woods
Valleycliffe is perfect for hiking and walking. A local favourite walking path is the Stawamus Dyke Trail. This is a reasonably beginner-friendly trail for biking, though you do see more people using it as a walking trail. It runs along the Stawamus River, which is more of a peaceful creek than a rushing mass of water. This gives the trail a relaxed, comfortable feel. The nearby Stawamus Chief Provincial Park has even more options for hiking trails and walking paths. Hiking the Chief takes a good part of an afternoon to complete its roughly 4-5km round trip, depending on which peak is chosen.
Rock Climbing Guides
Interested in rock climbing but don’t know where to begin? A rock-climbing guide and a positive attitude are all you need to get started on this exhilarating sport. The Stawamus Chief and surrounding smaller bluffs are perfect opportunities to hone this skill. The nearby Smoke Bluffs is another popular site for rock climbing and rappelling. This is a common outdoor activity in the region, so the instructors have plenty of experience and understand the territory well. Instructions are available privately and in groups with all the necessary safety equipment and practices.
Camp With the Chief
The Stawamus Chief Provincial Park has more than just mountain tops and trails. It is a beautiful place to camp! Camping at the Stawamus Chief Mountain base means you will have a campground surrounded by spruce trees and other second-growth coniferous trees. Camping here is best suited for tents (due to smaller sites) and those that come with everything they need for their trip. A central cooking station and lockers for food protection are provided. Casual, no-frill camping set in one of British Columbia’s most beautiful forests is an experience not to be missed!
