The Panorama Trail is a quick 1.1mi loop trail at the top of the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish that takes hikers along a forested route to some scenic lookouts over the Squamish Valley. Along the trail, hikers will cross a bridge before arriving at viewing decks where they can look out over the beautiful waters of Howe Sound and the Stawamus Chief. This trail is an easy way to catch some amazing views of the granite dome that is an iconic part of Squamish.

Route Description for Panorama Trail

The Panorama Trail is a short 1.8 km hike that sets out from the Sea to Sky Gondola and travels along a forested path to several beautiful viewpoints overlooking the Stawamus Chief, Howe Sound, and the Squamish Valley. Unless hikers plan on trekking up the long trail all the way to the top, they will need to buy a gondola ticket - $55 on weekdays, $60 on weekends - to access the trailhead. The trail itself is made up of easy to navigate terrain, making the Panorama Trail and its stunning views a suitable route for hikers of all ages and skill levels.

Getting to the Panorama Trail Trailhead

To reach the trailhead for the Panorama Trail from Britannia Beach, drive north on BC-99 N for 8km and make a right turn to enter the parking area for the Sea to Sky Gondola. From there, purchase a ticket and take the gondola to the top where you will find the trailhead to the left.
