The Sea to Sky Gondola is located at 36800 Highway 99, also known as the Sea to Sky Highway, just 2 km south of Squamish and close to an hourâs drive from downtown Vancouver. Its basecamp and parking lot are right next to the highway, and the gondola terminates 885 metres or 2,950 feet above sea level.
For a person standing at sea level, however, the horizon is only about 3 miles away. Lets do the calculations. The figure below shows an observer whose eyes are a distance E above sea level. A straight line drawn from the observers eyes tangent to the seas surface touches it at the distance d1, which is the distance to the horizon. If R is the radius of the earth, then, to first order in E/R, it is easy to show that.
