We wanted a quick getaway for the long weekend and booked a last minute overnighter to
Whistler. On our drive up the stunning sea-to-sky highway, we hiked up
The Chief in Squamish. The payoff at the top definitely makes up for all of the s
wearing sweating on the climb up. A word to the wise - please wear the right gear. I saw too many tourists attempting to climb the Chief in flip flops or Converse. Trust me, if you're standing more than 2000 feet above the town below, you're going to want traction. I don't care how cool you are. One slip on the rock face and you're no longer cool guy in flip flops, you're suddenly pancake guy with unfortunate attire selection skills. Nobody wants to be THAT guy. Any weekend where I get to have an outdoor adventure with my love and bookend it with visits with great friends is bliss. And when you add an extra day to sleep in? Well, how can it get any better than that?
How did you design your long weekend?
