Pristine Garibaldi Lake

Classic coast mountain country. A gradual uphill 9 km (5.5 miles) hike through dense forests of Douglas Fir and volcanic lava formations to the deep subapline basin that contains the glacial waters of Garibaldi Lake at 1,500 m (4,900 ft) and Mount Garibaldi, a potentially active stratovolcano with its highest peak reaching 2,678 m (8,786 ft).

 

Another day or two to explore some of the lush alpine meadows, streams, waterfalls, glaciers, icefields and other peaks in the larger volcanic field, including BlackTusk at 2319 m (7608 ft). Garibaldi Provincial Park, Pacific Coast Mountains, British Columbia., Canada
