    SQUAMISH, B.C. — The scenic Sea to Sky Gondola, one hour north of Vancouver, opened in May 2014 and offered its first HikeFest celebration last fall.

    There will also be a trail running session at the summit, as well as special pricing for the attraction's Via Ferrata, a climbing adventure that opened in June.
