Our Grandson has been out and about, and this first series of his photos is from the Squamish area.
The essential item is bear spray !!! Specially when out camping in a tent!!!
From the Internet....
Squamish is a town north of Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada. It's at the northern tip of the island-dotted Howe Sound, and surrounded by mountains like the Stawamus Chief, a huge granite monolith. The Sea to Sky Gondola has views of the sound and nearby Shannon Falls, a towering waterfall cascading down a series of cliffs.
........
Daytime temperatures in and near Vancouver have been between 14C at night up to 28 C or more in the day, while back here it is definitely winter with some huge frosts down south.
I am amazed there is still snow on the tops. And I did see in another photo someone swimming.
The joy of the internet when someone is away from home or overseas, Apple have a wonderful app that can locate a person or their missing device. With the time difference we either send or receive message at all odd times.
Meantime I continue to behave, no more trips, and am reasonably okay.

It looks wonderful there. Glad to hear you have had no more trips in the yellow taxi. Take care.
I had the photos arranged so well in my post and now they are all over the place, no idea how that happened.!!!
Beautiful photos of Canada, I am sure your grandson is enjoying his travels and camping. Take care, have a wonderful week!
That is a beautiful area. It is amazing how the internet brings us together these days.
Back when I was about the age of your grandson, I took the Royal Hudson steam train from Vancouver to Squamish and back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Hudson
It ran beside the Sea to Sky highway. Sadly, the train is no longer in service.
Bear spray is a good idea, but singing and making lots of noise are good ways to keep the bears away.
This is a gorgeous area. Your grandson must be having quite the time!
Love seeing these photos of BC. Would love to go there some day. Glad you are doing ok Jean. Take care and yes, behave! Carol
Our daughter has been to Squamish several times.
