Overall, the Whistler area and British Columbia have all aspects of how we imagined the maple leaf's land, and we could not hope for a better introduction.īeautiful forests, crystal clear lakes, glaciers, meadows, wildlife, and snow-capped peaks, and the best part is that we could see all of it in one day and didn't even need to get that deep into the wild.Īlthough Garibaldi Lake is one of the most popular trails in the area, we did not know much about the possible extension, Panorama Ridge Trail. Garibaldi Lake hike was, therefore, our first hike after we landed in Canada, and we couldn't choose a better start for exploring this incredible country.
At first, we thought it would be a bit of waste of time, but thanks to it, absolutely new possibilities opened up to us.
We landed in the USA and then crossed borders to Canada because flight tickets from Europe were quite expensive to either Calgary or Edmonton, which are the traditional gateway cities for the Canadian Rockies journey.

Sitting at an altitude of almost 1500 meters above sea level, Garibaldi Lake is a glacial lake with breathtaking turquoise waters, plus the area offers great hiking trails.Īlthough the main purpose of visiting the western part of this country was to explore the Canadian Rockies, this area near Vancouver proved to be similar, if not even more beautiful.
If you've just started planning your itinerary, consider if it would be possible to take a road trip to this part of Canada, not only because of this day hike but also because of other top attractions in the vicinity of Vancouver. Garibaldi Lake and Panorama Ridge hike in Garibaldi Provincial Park near Whistler is one of our all-time favorite hikes in Canada.
