Stawamus Chief Hike & Photography
Overview
This is not a beginner's hike (there are easier ones I organize) and you need to be in great shape. However, we'll pace ourselves based on your ability with plenty of breaks for photos.
As an outdoors guide with 20+ years of experience leading hikes, I will show you how to hike safely. As a photographer I'll not only take beautiful photos of your memories, but also teach you landscape photography regardless of whether you carry a smartphone or DSLR. Details on what to wear and bring along for the tour will be provided.

The guide was really professional and caring, giving advices on how to better hike, and sharing his experience and knowledge on how to make the most of the adventure - and in general to learn about Canadian nature - and provided interesting talks.

This was an amazing experience! I was not able to join the original Chief hike due to lower numbers the day of, but I was given an excellent substitute. Nash took us up to Joffre lakes and it was stunning. He took the time to get to know each of us. He also made sure to point out difficult parts during the hike and how we could easily do them. He took us to spots where there were less tourists. This was definitely an experience I will remember for a long time!The landscapes in this one are breathtaking, especially the "secret spots" Nafees takes you to.
