We had popped in to take a look at some of the available brochure offerings and the like, ask staff a few questions about some of the local attractions, get some driving and walking directions, and check out a map or two. Staff were friendly, courteous, and helpful -- we were able to acquire all the information we hoped for, and left with a good selection of brochures, maps, and other 'stuff' to take back to the car and motel room. Our visit, though quite brief (as we were heading out of the city at the time, and anxious to get on our way), was fun and productive, and we were happy to have made the stop when we did, finding the information very helpful to travelling/activities planned for that day, and onwards over our stay.

From some literature, read that the building was built in 1893, and was originally an actual functioning Canadian Pacific Railway station. In its present location, it now houses: upon entering, the 'Agassiz Visitor Information Centre' and 'Gift Shop', and to the right, the 'Agassiz-Harrison Museum', with several rooms of interesting displays and setups of "stuff & such" from its early days, and various historical happenings in and about this area of BC. 'Cool' and interesting, very neatly and nicely set up and displayed, with very easy navigating for all to see. And super nice folks providing service as hosts/guides, to help and assist. Visitor information and some local BC history, housed in a uniquely-interesting building -- sure glad we dropped by for a look!!

There are glaciers, mountains, lakes and rivers and some of the most incredible sunsets you will see. We were even lucky enough to see a mountain goat. There is also plenty of great hiking here. We did many trails, but the trail of cedars was one of my favorites because I love bridges and the trail is almost completely shaded which is nice in the warm weather. It's a very level easy trail that anyone can do. This is easily one of my top five national parks of all time and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't had a chance to come here and experience it themselves.

We were wondering what we can do in Squamish. We came to the Visitor Information to find out more…read more We spoke to the lady working there and she was somewhat clueless. I think she was trying her best but because she lived in the area, many of the things that she can do everyday will not be considered as tourist things/spots. There is a Squamish themed gift shop in the Visitor Information center but the items for sale wasn't that much special or unique other than having the Squamish logo on it. Along the wall outside of the gift shop is a list of things to do brochure. Many of them directed visitors to visit Whistler instead. I believe when thinking of travelling or going somewhere, Whistler comes to mind and not Squamish.

You can get all of your outdoor needs met here! The interior is quite spacious, with about half of the footprint of the floor being dedicated to a shop with gifts, maps, postcards, and other knick knacks. There's also the national park stamp for your book if you collect cancellation stamps. The other half of the building is filled by a large ranger desk and their cubicles. Under the long counter is a variety of maps, passes, and pamphlets. The ranger working the day I visited was very helpful, identifying some insect photos that I took earlier that day, as well as setting me up with some national park maps. Other amenities include a water bottle fill station, as well as gender neutral washrooms. Great visit!

Stopped into Kilby on the way to a stay in Harrison Hot Springs last week. Our stop and walkabout…read morewas made specifically to take a peak at the current condition of flooding affecting the Lake, beach, and campground area there. We drove down to the campground area, and were able to park on the road, just to the front of the highway signs, and barriers that had been erected to stop any further passage by vehicles, and warnings to those on foot to be careful. Most of the beach and campground areas were totally under water from the river and lake flooding currently affecting the area. It looked, and felt strange to see roadways, sites, signs, and most everything we know so well at this location, submerged in water!! We talked to a couple of area residents, and were told that this particular area of Kilby floods each year, and although flooding this year was significant, it was not nearly as bad as some previous years, when more of the area homes, cottages, et al, were also more directly affected. They said that conditions had basically stabilized at this time, and retreating of the water should be taking place soon. Hope for all their sakes, retreating of the water has started for them, and this lovely area of Harrison Mills within the Kilby Historic Site, will be back to normal soon.
