Get ready for a rewarding challenge at "The Chief," one of North America's largest granite monoliths. The trail is a steep climb right from the start, taking you up a natural StairMaster of roots and rocks to three distinct peaks. For the classic experience, the 4km round-trip hike to the First Peak involves ladders and chains near the summit, but rewards you with absolutely breathtaking 360° views over Howe Sound and the surrounding mountains.
