Elfin Lakes, Garibaldi

A stunning 22km hike to Elfin Lakes in Garibaldi Provincial Park, BC, if you can see…

Headed East along Garibaldi Lake road from Squamish until we arrived at the Diamond Head car park. Left the car there and headed up into the mountains, which were wrapped in cloud. Made the hike in slightly disorientating, but at least it was cool!
