Ice Cream from COWS | Weekend in Squamish

It's our dad's 60th birthday, and to celebrate, we're spending the weekend at Squamish, BC.

From our Airbnb in Squamish, we decided to take a drive to Whistler. We walked around the village and enjoyed a quiet few minutes near Peace Park. It was sunny and hot, so ice cream from COWS seemed the perfect way to cool down.

Yay for creamy and delicious ice cream. Afterwards, we drove to Alice Lake and spent the rest of our afternoon enjoying the view and cool breeze under the shade of beautiful trees.

It's a hot and humid summer day at Whistler, so a scoop of Canada's Best Ice Cream (according to a Reader's Digest poll) is a great way to cool down. The ice cream is good, but it's the freshly made waffle cones (that you can smell from outside while waiting in line) are what makes this place unique.

Lunch at Thunderbird Cafe inside the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre

After doing the guided tour at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, it's best to end it with a meal at the Thunderbird Cafe. I love the salmon chowder so much.
