Panorama Ridge!

This is a long hike with a big reward. You will hike through the Black Tusk meadows containing one of the best displays of wild flower meadows in British Columbia. The views from a top Panorama Ridge are incredible.

Garibaldi lake is a turquoise, glacier fed lake surrounded by glaciated peaks. Make sure to bring your camera or phone. If you are lucky, you will be able to photograph Clark’s Nutcrackers, Whiskey Jacks, Mountain Goats, and the elusive Hoary Marmot.
