Quest University (officially Quest University Canada) was a private, not-for-profit, secular liberal arts and sciences university. The university opened in September 2007 with an inaugural class of 73 and suspended academic operations in April 2023. The university had an enrolment of around 200 students around the time of its closing.Quest's curriculum was considered unconventional. It used the block plan, adapted and modified from the block plan at Colorado College. Students needed to complete 32 blocks to graduate. Classes were seminar-style and capped at 20 students. There were five divisions (Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Arts & Humanities, Mathematics, and Social Sciences) instead of traditional departments. In lieu of declaring a major, students wrote a personalized Question. Studies culminate in a major work called a Keystone project. Upon graduation—usually after four years study—students were awarded a degree of Bachelor of Arts and Sciences. The campus was located on a 60-acre (24.3 ha) hilltop on the edge of Garibaldi Provincial Park. It was approximately 75 km (47 miles) from Vancouver and 60 km (37 miles) from Whistler, British Columbia. Quest University Canada was fully accredited and approved by the Degree Quality Assessment Board (DQAB) under the British Columbia Ministry of Advanced Education. Quest was also registered as a British Columbia Education Quality Assurance (EQA) approved post-secondary institution.The university closed at the end of the 2022–2023 academic year, when all academic operations ceased.On August 16, 2023, the government of British Columbia issued a press release announcing that Capilano University had purchased Quest University's campus for $63.2M with supplemental funding provided by the government of British Columbia. The same press release specified that Capilano University plans on offering courses at the campus starting Spring 2024.

Ring Creek is a creek in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It flows west and southwest into the Mamquam River, and east of the Squamish River. The community of Ring Creek is located 6 km East of Quest University on the Garibaldi park Road, at an elevation of approximately 2000 feet above sea level. This community is close to Squamish but is outside municipal boundaries, and falls within the SLRD (Squamish Lillooet Regional District). There are permanent residents as well as seasonal dwellers. Population ranges from 40 to 60 persons depending on time of year. This community is fully off grid and has no centrally supplied water, sewer, electricity, garbage collection, or cable services. The origin of the community began with logging in the area. Once road access was established, recreational users began accessing Garibaldi Park, and some unauthorized cabins were constructed in the area. In the late sixties the government surveyed the current lots and offered crown leases to squatters if certain conditions were met, and annual lease fees were paid. As governments changed, leases were offered up for sale as freehold properties. As of this time most lots have been converted to freehold, although over the past 35 years some lots have reverted to the crown, and a few remain crown leases. The community is well known to the mountain biking community as it sits among and near some of the best known, and most widely used mountain bike trails in the sea to Sky Corridor.

The Cheekye River is a river in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It flows west into the Cheakamus River and north of Squamish.

Cheekye is an unincorporated locality on the Cheakamus River just upstream from its confluence with its parent stream, the Squamish, and just north of Brackendale, British Columbia, which is part of the District of Squamish, British Columbia, Canada. Formerly a passenger station on the Pacific Great Eastern Railway and home to a fishing lodge and cabins, it was named for the Cheekye River and had a post office from October 16, 1924 to August 8, 1931. It is the location of the only bridge across the Cheakamus River below the abandoned settlement of Garibaldi, leading to two roads, one northeast to the Paradise Valley neighbourhood, which lies along the Cheakamus below its canyon, and also to the main road up the Squamish Valley, leading to various Indian Reserves of the Squamish Nation and beyond to the valleys of the Elaho and other tributaries of the Squamish.

Paradise Valley is a rural-residential area north of Brackendale, British Columbia, Canada, located along the right (west) bank of the Cheakamus River. It begins just below that river's canyon, and continues downstream towards Cheekye, where the road from Brackendale crosses the Cheakamus. Located to the southwest of Brohm Lake, which is in the rocky upland on the other side of the Cheakamus and adjacent to BC Highway 99, it is largely flat and a floodplain and is home to the main facility of the Coast Mountain Outdoor School as well as the C-Dar Lodge Biodynamic facility. Many Paradise Valley residents participate at the weekly farmers market in nearby Squamish.

Cobra Crack is a 45-metre (148 ft) long traditional climbing route on a thin crack up an overhanging granite rock face on Stawamus Chief, in Squamish, British Columbia. The route was first ascended by Peter Croft and Tami Knight in 1981 as an aid climb. After rebuffing many attempts by leading climbers – most notably by Swiss crack climber Didier Berthod in 2005 – Canadian climber Sonnie Trotter made the first free ascent in 2006. With subsequent ascents, the consensus grade has settled at 5.14b (8c) which ranked Cobra Crack as one of the hardest crack climbs in the world, and almost two decades later, it is still considered one of the world's hardest traditional climbing routes.
