About this park
In 1893 Stanley Smith and his partner, Mr. Doolittle, set off into the wilds of the upper Squamish River valley in search of Clark and Braden, two surveyors who had gone missing the previous spring. Smith’s route penetrated the wild beauty of Clendinning Creek and Chilko Creek. Smith and Doolittle found only a cap belonging to one of the surveyors. In 1941 Arthur Dalton made the first ascent of Mt. Tinniswood, which he named after his father.
This area provides important habitat for grizzly bears and black bears and is a migration corridor for black-tailed deer, goats, wolves and cougars.
