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.

Further up is a gorgeous lookout from Young Hill. This is a National Park so you can get your passport stamped. The husband and wife volunteers are quite knowledgeable and willing to share info on the camps history or the Osprey that are currently nesting up in the woods. They set up a camera so you can watch the birds on an iPad from the barracks. In the back of the main building there is a 12 minute video explaining how the British and Americans fought over a boar being shot. Eventually the British left and Americans took over. This was an excellent experience. Highly recommend not driving past the small sign!

I'm handicapped and they even gave me a ride back to my car in a people mover from the property. The hill is a little bit steep but doable slowly for people with a cane. I am a disabled veteran, so I really appreciate their hospitality. The gift shop was quite amazing. It offered not only a lot of items that you would like to see if there was also food on the property that you could get from vendors one of Mr. nonprofit that supports the park. But I really liked the English garden and the barracks were well-maintained and they have a 17 minute video that explains the history of it which came in very handy understanding its progress and process. If we have longer, I will return and spend more time looking around, but if we don't, I know I got to the place that I thought was a pretty special place. Highly recommended.
This amazing tree which stands prominently in the field around the buildings is over 350 years old. Think about it.

We stopped because we had to find a clean restroom, but we found extremely reasonably priced gifts and stellar service. There are earrings, soaps, jams, and books by local artists. There are displays about the local flora and fauna. I purchased a cool Sasquatch t-shirt. There are tons of brochures and maps. The women working here were charming and chatty and suggested that we try to squeeze a drive-through of Chemainus into our journey to the Duke Point ferry, which we did, I highly encourage you to stop here for the hospitality, the locally-made goods, and the clean restrooms! They also have EV charging stations and are next to a discovery center that you could spend more time exploring.

It had a decent sized fridge with a freezer in top which I appreciated because we had a cooler with re-freezable ice packs. It also had a microwave and a keurig coffee maker with creamer, etc. The included breakfast, however, was marginal to bad. Overcooked scrambled eggs, a toaster that didn't work very well and took forever to make any toast at all. A waffle maker that a guest told me not to use because it didn't work. The fruit was precut up and soaking in sugar syrup. Not tasty. Aside from the breakfast we enjoyed our stay and would return.

Complimentary breakfast was simple with an assortment of packaged muffins, yogurt, fruit and coffee. On the other hand, the facilities itself are only okay with cleanliness being questionable in our suite. There were some stains on the carpet before we got there and the air condition is quite loud. The rooms were renovated and had a nice washroom and kitchen but is definitely dated. Unfortunately, we did not receive great service from one of the front desk staff members and this plus the facility cleanliness leads to 4 instead of 5 stars.
