Park
Info:
Clendinning Provincial Park is an area of contrasts, with
ancient forests, tranquil meadows, and spectacular relief
dominated by heavily glaciated peaks, steep granite slabs,
hanging valleys and icefalls.
This undeveloped, roadless watershed provides the opportunity
for wilderness backcountry recreation. Those with the skills
to be self-sufficient in an isolated environment will find
the rewards of an area steeped in natural values.
Clendinning Park was established as a Protected Area on October
28, 1996.

Nature
& Culture:
- History - 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.
- Wildlife - This area provides important habitat for grizzly bears and black bears and is a migration corridor for black-tailed deer, goats, wolves and cougars.
