Estimated to be 93 million years old, the Chief is one of the senior members of the local landscape, parts of which were laid down as lava a scant 12,000 years ago.

For hikers, Stawamus Chief Mountain is a strenuous, 4- to 7-mile (7- to 11-km) return hike, depending on which of three summit routes you choose.

For rock climbers, at last count there were 180 routes to climb on Stawamus Chief Mountain—one the largest free-standing granite monoliths in the world.
