Turn right onto the highway toward Squamish/Whistler. Shannon Falls is ~8 km down the highway. There's a car park on the right. Keep dogs on a leash as the falls are crazy strong and dangerous.

Head toward Squamish for ~4km. The car park to Murrin Park and Browning Lake are on the left. There's a lovely beach (although I don't think it's doggo friendly) and some great hiking.

The Chief is a famous hiking spot close to the Sea to Sky Gondola. It is one of the largest granite monoliths in the world, reaching 700 meters from sea level. The Squamish, indigenous people from this area, consider the Chief to be a place of spiritual significance. You can climb the chief with relatively little hiking experience. It is challenging but the views are stunning.

This is a lovely but long-ish hike. It’s about 20 minutes from Squamish (30 mins from here) and you can park along the road off the highway. If you’re going by Google maps, look for Rubble Creek Trailhead.
It’s around 3 hours hike to the lake and 2 hours back but the lake is stunning.
