Callaghan Lake is hands down the best snowshoeing place near Vancouver. It's remote, has beautiful views and wildlife. We were even allowed to take Parker off leash! We went to the lake which was frozen over and had at least five feet of snow on top. We had out lunch, then headed back to the Olympic lodge to warm up with some hot chocolate. The sunset pictures of Howe Sound were from out the car window when driving down the Sea-to-Sky Highway back after the long day of snowshoeing.
